Pursuit

Lin Zhen was unaware of what had happened in the Base City, and he had never considered relying on others for help. He already had a plan in mind, and everything was proceeding according to plan.

The martial artists who reached the third floor panicked when they saw a Advanced War General approaching and began to frantically attack Lin Zhen again.

In their panic, these people lost their coordination and rushed forward in a chaotic manner, giving Lin Zhen a chance to counterattack.

With his Spear Art constantly changing, from Immovable as a Mountain to Rainstorm, Lin Zhen's superior position amplified his power, allowing him to kill two more Beginner War General.

The blood seemed to clear their heads a little, and they retreated in a disheveled state; the attack had failed once again.

They failed, and more warriors followed. This time, there were even more people, including Du Yanhu, the Dragon Slayer, Zhang Huai, and Ouyang Yu. Of course, none of them could be considered heavyweights. The real heavyweights were the four Advanced War General.

The arrival of Wolf Tianxiao and Yang Lie, one Heavenly Speedster and the other Heavenly Strength user, made the other martial artists feel hopeless.

With these two people around, there's probably nothing else to do, and Lin Zhen is doomed.

Besides the two of them, two other Advanced War General also arrived.

One was named Dong Xuefei, and the other was named Jiao Zan; both were Level Seven War General.

Originally, Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan had already considered retreating after seeing Wolf Tianxiao Wolf Tianxiao his companion. As they were both Advanced War General, they knew their strength and did not want to compete with them.

But Wolf Tianxiao said to them, "Don't worry, you two. I, Lang, have always been a person of virtue and have never done anything to bully other martial artists. Today, when we besiege Lin Zhen, Yang Lie and I will definitely not be the first to make a move. You can attack however you want. If you succeed, the 3 billion will be yours. If you fail, we will take over. What do you say?"

Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief on each other's faces.

Dong Xuefei asked, "Brother Wolf, is what you say true?"

"Of course it's true, Yang Lie. Look, there's a small building over there. Let's go there and watch the play."

After saying that, Wolf Tianxiao took Yang Lie away and actually went to a small building not far away, where they could see the entire Zhaodong Tower and had a great view.

Jiao Zan looked at Dong Xuefei: "Brother Dong, what should we do?"

Dong Xuefei gritted her teeth. "No matter what Wolf Tianxiao is up to, we can't miss this opportunity. We must fight for 3 billion. Since Wolf Tianxiao isn't making a move, let's not give them another chance."

Jiao Zan nodded. "Okay, let's do it that way."

After discussing their plan, the two quickly entered the Zhaodong Tower, ready to deal with Lin Zhen.

Yang Lie followed Wolf Tianxiao to the small building and asked, somewhat puzzled, "Tianxiao, why are we giving them a chance? Why don't the two of us just go over and kill Lin Zhen directly?"

"Wrong. There are more and more martial artists gathered here now, thirty or forty in total. Even if we kill Lin Zhen, it won't be easy to get the money. Whoever succeeds will probably be surrounded and attacked by the others in the end. We might as well wait for them to finish their fight before we make our move. You have to understand that we can't communicate with the outside world right now. People outside can't come in and people inside can't get out. In Zhaodong, do you think anyone can escape our grasp? In the end, these 3 billion will definitely be ours."

Yang Lie suddenly realized, and gave Wolf Tianxiao a thumbs up. "Tianxiao, you're right. But what if they can't take down Lin Zhen?"

"Hehe! That's even better. My hands are itching too. I really want to take down a genius myself."

The two of them stayed in the small building, determined to wait patiently and be the last birds to pounce.

Lin Zhen held firm on the stairs leading from the third to the Fourth Layer, preventing the group of martial artists in front of him from Thunder Pool.

It wasn't until Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan arrived and inquired about the situation that these martial artists told the two Advanced War General just how troublesome Lin Zhen was.

"Oh! So he really is a genius. But a genius who dies too soon is nothing. The rest of you, start climbing to the fourth floor immediately. We'll leave this to the two of us."

The martial artists immediately began climbing to the fourth floor, but Lin Zhen did not stay at the stairwell this time. He stepped down the stairs and went straight to the Fifth Floor!

"You little brat, you think you can run away?"

Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan leaped up, completely ignoring the dust and smoke billowing from the collapsed staircase, and jumped directly up.

Lin Zhen also quickly retreated a few steps, causing the other martial artists heading to the fourth floor to miss their target, and stood up against two Advanced War General at the top of the stairs on the Fifth Floor!

This time, the Immovable as a Mountain has finally met its match!

Dong Xuefei's weapon was a sword, Jiao Zan and the other two wielded knives. Their swords and knives were wielded with power and speed far exceeding those of Intermediate War General. As soon as Lin Zhen engaged them in combat, he was immediately forced to retreat repeatedly!

"No, the strength of the Advanced War General is too great. One force can overcome ten techniques. Although I can intercept their attacks, the difference in strength is too great. If this continues, I will be defeated very soon."

The Black Dragon Spear in his hand trembled incessantly with each impact, and if this continued for a while, the spear probably wouldn't be able to withstand the violent impact.

Seeing that he could not hold out any longer, Lin Zhen did not linger in the fight. After firing two shots quickly, he retreated again and headed straight for the stairwell on the sixth floor.

Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan continued their pursuit. The martial artists went from the third floor to the fourth floor, and then from the fourth floor to the Fifth Floor, but they still missed them. They had no choice but to climb to the sixth floor again.

They arrived at the sixth floor but found nothing, so the battleground shifted to the Seventh Floor.

When these people chased the suspects to the Seventh Floor, they all felt they couldn't take it anymore.

Above the Seventh Floor, they were already high in the air. The biting cold wind howled and blew over them. A Beginner War General had been climbing and fighting for a long time and had already exhausted a lot of his strength. After he came up, the Gale made his hands and feet stiff. He stepped on the ice and slipped. He was blown down into the air by the Gale!

The man screamed as he fell, and because he was not agile enough to make any effective movements to mitigate the impact in mid-air, he crashed heavily to the ground and died instantly!

This unexpected event made the martial artists cautious. It was too cold on the Seventh Floor. Before the battle even started, everyone was covered in a thick layer of snowflakes. They were all carefully stabilizing their bodies, making sure they weren't blown away by the cold wind.

When Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan caught up with the enemy here, both of them were trembling slightly.

"Damn it, why did they choose such a place to take care of Lin Zhen? This place is practically freezing someone to death!"

"What are you guys doing standing there so timidly? Hurry up and go up to the Eighth Layer to intercept him. Lin Zhen doesn't have much room to escape anymore. If we go any higher, he'll be turned into an ice pop."

Jiao Zan was still giving instructions when several martial artists over there could no longer hold on.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm quitting this battle. All the prize money is no longer for me. If this goes on, I'll freeze to death first."

"I can't take it anymore. The temperature must be around minus fifty degrees Celsius. If I stay here another minute, even my internal organs will freeze. I have to go. You guys continue."

Among those who came up were several Level Nine Warrior, who were the first to give up and voluntarily withdrew from the battle, starting to descend the stairs.

There were originally about thirty or forty people who came up, but six or seven were removed. The remaining people who persisted were all at the General Level.

Lin Zhen stood at the top of the stairs leading from the Seventh Floor to the Eighth Layer. Her hair and eyebrows were frozen solid. She opened her mouth and exhaled a breath of white air, but a smile appeared on her lips.
