Killing Above One's Level

Su Mingyue looked up at Lin Zhen, who was swaying on the Skirt Armor armor. Her eyes were blurred with tears, but a glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

He's right. A martial artist must fight relentlessly; how can one give up so easily? This has nothing to do with faith, nor with gods.

Even if she is betrayed by her friends, even if she is abandoned by the gods, Su Mingyue is still an independent person. How could she not cherish her life?

"Kid, I remember you! You're the one who stole the Star Crystal that day. Well, you actually dare to show your face in front of me. Today, I'll catch you all in one fell swoop!" Hua suddenly recognized Lin Zhen.

"That's right, it's me. To be honest, the two of you are as slow as turtles. You couldn't even catch me, a Beginner War General. It seems you're not much of a threat in the Tree Crown Zone. What makes you think you can wipe us all out?"

"Kid, stop talking nonsense. You got away the other day, but you won't get away today."

Lin Zhen laughed and said, "Now that I'm here, I have no intention of running away. Just you wait and see."

After saying that, he looked at Su Mingyue and said, "Saintess Su, you should rest as soon as possible. I'll deal with these two guys. Come and support me when you're rested."

Su Mingyue nodded, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and felt a warmth in her heart.

Lin Zhen could tell that the two people were exhausted and weak after their battle with Su Mingyue, while he had just absorbed a Comet Crystal and was now in almost peak condition, having made a big step forward to the mid-stage of the Level Four War General. It was a good opportunity to practice on these two people!

"Grandpa's here!"

Lin Zhen suddenly leaped down from the vines and pounced on Hua, raising his Bright Silver Spear high in the air. He unleashed his newly mastered skill, Lightning Long River!

Lightning Ions flickered across his body, and silver arcs of electricity leaped on his Long Spear. The spear's light transformed in mid-air, evolving into a colossal wave that engulfed Hua!

"What a fierce attack!" Hua's expression tightened; this Intermediate War General was not easy to deal with.

However, he was not afraid. As a Level Nine War General, he was confident that he could deal with Lin Zhen, even though he was very tired at the moment.

He circulated his Dantian Qi and instead of using the Long Sword in his hand, he took out a Long Spear from his Space Ring.

As Advanced War General, he was proficient in the use of various weapons, and he would also use Long Spear to fight against the enemy, even when faced with a heavy weapon like Long Spear.

The two Long Spear, raised Raise Fire to Burn the Sky, collided like clubs!

"Bang!"

The loud noise was ear-piercing, Hua's legs trembled slightly, but he still stood firm.

"You brat, even if that attack is fierce, you're destined to run out of steam. Now watch my counterattack!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zhen's second attack came.

The waves were still raging, overwhelming and impossible to escape. Helpless, Hua could only endure them once again.

After another loud bang, Hua held on again, preparing to fight back, only to have his heart and liver pounding again.

The third wave rose behind Lin Zhen and crashed down on him!

"How is this possible? How can this kid unleash three attacks like that in a row? Can his Dantian Qi even keep up? This doesn't make sense!"

Despite the absurdity of the situation, Hua still had to endure it. After the third impact, he finally could no longer withstand the powerful force and couldn't help but take a step back.

Taking this step back would be disastrous, as Lin Zhen's Lightning Long River crashed down wave after wave.

Mars flew incessantly from the weapons, pounding against the tree trunks. Lin Zhen seemed to be swinging a sledgehammer at iron, unleashing wave after wave of blows. Before the first strike was finished, the second was already rising, and as soon as the second fell, the third was already brewing.

After enduring the attacks more than ten times in a row, Hua could no longer stand steadily and staggered backward. Having lost the initiative, he found it difficult to turn the tide under Lin Zhen's onslaught. Finally, he couldn't help but shout, "Lao San, what are you still looking at? Forget about those two, come and save me!"

The Lao San finally realized what was happening. He hadn't expected that the powerful Hua couldn't withstand the onslaught of Lin Zhen, Intermediate War General. He hurriedly grabbed his knife and attacked from behind!

With the two attacking from both sides, the situation finally improved.

Unable to unleash his Lightning Long River attack on Hua, Lin Zhen switched from offense to defense. His Bright Silver Spear spun rapidly, faster than a windmill, with countless spear shadows flashing and crisscrossing, managing to withstand the combined attack of the two.

Hua and Lao San refused to believe it; with the two of them working together, this mere Intermediate War General would be a piece of cake.

The two attacked separately but together, sometimes launching strong offensives and sometimes feigning weakness, sometimes joining forces and sometimes unleashing surprise attacks. But no matter how their moves changed, Lin Zhen was like a towering mountain, unshakeable with a spear in hand!

Tang Yu and Yingying stared at Lin Zhen in disbelief, unable to understand how this kid could possess such formidable combat power, managing to withstand the onslaught of two Advanced War General without retreating an inch.

Would it kill you to back down? How could you be so stubborn? Tang Yu thought to herself, but Lin Zhen stubbornly stuck to his three-foot-wide area and didn't budge an inch!

The impact was as intense as popping beans. Five minutes, a full five minutes, and Hua and Lao San were exhausted and had to retreat temporarily.

"Hua Ge, look!" The Lao San pointed to Lin Zhen's feet as if he had discovered a new continent.

Hua looked down, panting, and saw that Lin Zhen's feet were already five or six centimeters deep into the wood, her feet were stuck in the wood, but she hadn't moved an inch.

"We didn't even manage to force him back a single step? How did he do that?" Hua looked at Lin Zhen in shock.

"Maybe... maybe we're just exhausted from the fight," the Lao San explained uncertainly.

At this moment, Lin Zhen raised her head and let out a deep breath. "Are you two done? Since you're done, then it's my turn again."

"Impossible, you still have the strength to attack?"

"Why don't you try it and see? Come on, taste my Lightning Long River again!"

Lin Zhen flicked his Long Spear, and the Lightning Long River roared once more, this time targeting two people—two Level Nine War General.

The three of them resumed their fight. For a time, Hua and Lao San were actually being overwhelmed by Lin Zhen. Their arms trembled every time they withstood Lin Zhen's attack, and they were forced to retreat step by step. They couldn't understand how Lin Zhen could launch such a high-intensity attack.

Fortunately, there were two of them, who could take turns holding off the attack. If it had been just one person, they probably would have collapsed under such a powerful attack.

The fierce battle continued for another five or six minutes. Lin Zhen put away his gun and retreated again, his chest heaving violently, but he still maintained a defensive stance.

He couldn't sustain an attack of that intensity indefinitely. He couldn't possibly take down two Level Nine War General in one fell swoop; he needed to conserve his strength for defense. The real counterattack would only begin once Su Mingyue had recovered a bit.

Seeing Lin Zhen prepare to defend again, Hua and Lao San, while breathing heavily, actually felt a sense of powerlessness.

The man simply stood there with his spear held horizontally, giving them a sense of awe and reverence, as if he were a towering mountain. Their attacks, like Gale and Rainstorm, were futile, merely tickling the mountain.

Once this feeling arose, an overwhelming sense of powerlessness emerged, and they all instinctively felt the urge to retreat.

However, given the current situation, it would be a real shame to give up, but they were too exhausted to continue fighting. They were caught in a dilemma.

This hesitation was fatal. Lin Zhen was also at his limit at this moment, which was why he activated the Body Like a Mountain" aura to intimidate his opponent. If the two of them continued their Desperate Assault, they might be able to capture Lin Zhen in one fell swoop.

Just as they were hesitating, Su Mingyue stood up.

She suffered an impact that disrupted her blood circulation, leaving her temporarily unable to fight. However, Lin Zhen bought her a precious ten minutes, and she has now recovered considerably. Although she is not yet in full condition, she is ready to fight.

"Lin Zhen, thank you, we fought side by side!" Su Mingyue's soft body leaned closer, standing shoulder to shoulder with Lin Zhen, her sword pointing at Hua and Lao San.

Hua and Lao San exchanged a glance, both sensing that something was wrong.

Continuing down this path is no longer a question of whether they can win, but whether they can save their lives. They couldn't even handle Lin Zhen, and if the even more powerful Su Mingyue comes along, they will undoubtedly be defeated.

"Hua Ge, what should we do?" the Lao San asked.

"What else can we do? Let's retreat!"

The two of them were in perfect unison, and without prior arrangement, they stepped back and ran away.

"One for each of us, we can't let them get away!" Su Mingyue said, and was about to chase after the more formidable Hua Ge.

"You go after that one, this one's mine. Remember to catch him alive."

Lin Zhen leaped up, stepping on Liquid Metal Shield, and headed straight for Hua.

Hua was also Mind Power Master, and his Mental Power strength even surpassed that of Lin Zhen, and he was about to disappear in an instant.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Lin Zhen's Bright Silver Spear shot out, heading straight for Hua's back.

"Hmph! It's useless. I'm not a dead person. Do you think I'll obediently let you shoot me?" Hua sneered disdainfully and tried to change course.

But at that moment, a powerful suction force suddenly came from behind, and his forward movement came to an abrupt halt, causing him to be violently pulled backward.

Before he could even understand what was happening, the Long Spear had already pierced through his body and emerged from his chest, shattering his heart in a single blow!

Level Nine War General, Golden Stage Late Phase Mind Power Master, died tragically on the spot without any explanation!

Lin Zhen walked over, not even bothering with his own Long Spear, and instead snatched the other person's Space Ring.

"Tsk tsk! Level Nine War General, a gold-level mind master, someone like that must have a lot of good stuff. I hope you won't disappoint me."

There was no time to waste, so Lin Zhen put the ring away first. Then he pulled out his Long Spear, kicked Hua's corpse away, and sent it falling from the tree.
