One Against Four (Third Update)
On Lin Zhen's side, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen looked at the other side's five Advanced War General and couldn't help but feel a little uncertain.
Although they had great confidence in Su Mingyue, Su Mingyue couldn't possibly take on several opponents at once, and as for Lin Zhen, Level Four War General, he probably wasn't as powerful as them.
Lin Zhen could also see the state of these two people. Keeping them on the stage might only hold them back. After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhen whispered a few words to them.
"As long as you do what I say, you've completed your mission."
Upon hearing this, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen hurriedly nodded. "If we can't even do this much, we might as well just find a block of tofu and smash our heads against it."
Zhang Sicheng and his team also had a brief discussion.
Zhang Sicheng said, "Of the four of them, we know very well what level Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen are at. Those two can almost be ignored. Their main focus must still be that woman."
A martial artist nearby chimed in, "That Lin Zhen is shouting quite loudly; he probably won't be easy to deal with."
"Use your brain, will you? That's just a Level Four War General. What can a Level Four War General do? He's just using his girlfriend's strength as a shield to act tough. But his clamor is really annoying. I'll go over and take him out first. Three of you four, take care of that girl, and one of you can deal with those two trash. After I take out Lin Zhen, I'll deal with those two trash, and then the five of us can have some fun with the beauty."
Several martial artists grinned wickedly; in their eyes, this was a battle they were certain to win.
As the battle began, Zhang Sicheng was the first to pounce on Lin Zhen.
"You brat, such a big mouth! Let's see if you can handle one of my moves!"
Of the other four Advanced War General, three attacked Su Mingyue simultaneously, determined to prevent Su Mingyue from escaping for a short period of time.
Another person stood in front of Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen. He was second only to Zhang Sicheng in strength in the team. In his opinion, even if he were alone, he could defeat the two of them in a little time.
The audience watched intently. Generally speaking, if you fail the first challenge, it would be foolish to continue the second.
They were no match for them to begin with, and now that they're down to one less person, their chances of winning are practically zero. It seems this team leader is a bit unreliable.
"Zhang Sicheng and his gang are really lucky to have such an eccentric squad leader. They're going to show off their power again this time."
"What a pity about that girl. She's so talented, but she has a terrible eye for people."
"Besides the beauties, the rest of this squad are all useless. Decision complete."
The people below the stage were saying that a firefight had already broken out above.
Su Mingyue's side immediately engaged in fierce combat. Facing the siege of three martial artists, she was completely unafraid. Her Long Sword flew, her clothes fluttered, and the four of them fought fiercely and evenly.
Facing the opponent's second-best fighter, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen actually opened their arms and lunged forward.
"Haha! What idiots, charging straight at me like that! Watch me wipe you all out in one move!"
Just as this person was about to make a move, a sudden change occurred!
A Mental Impact struck Lin Zhen's mind!
Mental Impact act directly on the mind and are impossible to defend against, unless certain special items are available to protect Mental Impact them.
The stronger a person's Dantian Qi and willpower, the less affected they are by Mental Impact. However, the impact is unavoidable. This person was quite strong, but he was still knocked off balance by the Mental Impact!
Just then, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen pounced on them, each grabbing one of the other's arms and violently throwing him off the stage!
Lin Zhen did not use his full strength in his Mental Impact, trying to avoid backlash, since he still had to face Zhang Sicheng head-on. However, he believed that as long as Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen could seize the opportunity, they would definitely be able to take down one of them first.
However, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen were a bit too nervous, and their movements were not coordinated, so they were a little slow, which gave the martial artist some time to come to his senses and react.
Just as Fu Haisheng and his companion were about to throw him off the stage, this man, no ordinary person, suddenly grabbed Fu Haisheng wrists. "You two, come down with me!"
Fu Haisheng and his companion were simply pulled off the stage by their opponents, and the three of them left together!
"Haha, those two guys are so stupid. They tried to ambush one person, and they were even dragged off the stage. It was supposed to be four against five, but now it's two against four."
"We're doomed. We had a chance if we were down one person, but now we're down two, plus another one who's sabotaging us. Even though my goddess is strong, she can't fight four of us at once."
"Didn't anyone notice that Li Yu paused just now? It was as if someone had ambushed him, otherwise those two good-for-nothings wouldn't even have had the chance to step down with him."
Lin Zhen unleashed a Mental Impact, but inevitably suffered a backlash. His head spun slightly, and he was caught off guard when facing Zhang Sicheng's attack. He parried with his Bright Silver Spear, but before he could regain his footing, he was slashed by Zhang Sicheng and forced to retreat repeatedly!
When Su Mingyue saw Lin Zhen being cut down by Zhang Sicheng, she didn't understand why Lin Zhen was so weak, but she was anxious and her steps became a little disordered. Faced with the siege of three Advanced War General, she fell into a disadvantageous position.
Zhang Sicheng was quite skilled. After the first strike, he didn't give Lin Zhen any chance and immediately followed up with a heavy second strike!
Lin Zhen had already steadied himself and was preparing to counterattack when he felt a fragrant breeze wafting around him. Su Mingyue had actually stood in front of him and taken a blow from Zhang Sicheng!
Su Mingyue hastily blocked the combined attack of the three opponents, and before she could even regain her footing, she blocked Zhang Sicheng's full-force slash. Her chest was churning with blood and qi, her pretty face turned pale, and she staggered backward. Lin Zhen quickly helped her up.
"Ming Yue, why are you coming over? It's so dangerous." Lin Zhen was very helpless. If Su Mingyue hadn't come over, this would have been the time to fight back, but now the situation had changed.
Su Mingyue glanced back at Lin Zhen, her red lips almost bloodless, but her tone was incredibly firm. "If we lose, we lose together."
Lin Zhen felt a warmth in her heart, "We won't lose."
However, judging from the situation on stage, Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue were destined to lose. With two against four, they were at a complete disadvantage and had no chance of turning the tide.
Jiang Huai, who was watching from below, also shook his head slightly. Lin Zhen's performance was too poor. It seemed that although his realm had improved a little, his strength had not improved at all compared to when he took the test. In fact, it seemed that he had even regressed.
Zhang Sicheng laughed heartily and led the remaining three Advanced War General to surround them.
"How about that, kid? Now you know how powerful your grandpa is, right? I thought you were all talk and no action. Turns out you're just a pushover. After all that, you're just a freeloader."
Su Mingyue stood in front of Lin Zhen with her sword drawn, saying, "Don't even think about hurting him. He's just not feeling well."
"Hahaha, little sister, don't defend that coward. Everyone saw what he did. If you hadn't risked your life to take a knife for him, he would be injured and rolling off the stage by now. But I have to apologize to you. I didn't want to hurt you. Your injury hurts me."
Several War General nearby also joined in the commotion, belittling Lin Zhen to the point of being worthless.
A buzzing sound came from the crowd watching below, with everyone talking at once and saying some very unpleasant things.
Su Mingyue's chest heaved with anger, but she didn't know what to say to defend Lin Zhen.
At this moment, Lin Zhen gently tugged at Su Mingyue: "Ming Yue, you stay below the arena and watch for me. This time, I'll go up alone."
"What did you say?" Su Mingyue turned to look at Lin Zhen.
"I told you to go down and rest, I'll deal with these guys," Lin Zhen repeated.
"But..." Su Mingyue hesitated.
"No buts, don't you believe me?"
Seeing the determination in Lin Zhen's eyes, Su Mingyue nodded without hesitation this time. "I believe you."
Lin Zhen stepped forward, Su Mingyue said nothing more. She sheathed her sword and stepped off the stage. The two collisions had indeed injured her, and she needed time to recover. Although she believed she could continue fighting, she did not want to put Lin Zhen in a difficult position.
Even if she loses, it's okay; she will encourage Lin Zhen to try again.
Seeing Su Mingyue step down from the stage, Zhang Sicheng became even more Zhang Kuang: "Kid, are you planning to give up? Are you going to say a few more heroic things? If so, I advise you to just give up, that will only humiliate you."
Lin Zhen didn't engage in verbal sparring with this man. Instead, he brandished his Bright Silver Spear and said, "Enough with the nonsense, all four of you come at me!"
The three martial artists standing nearby couldn't stand it any longer and said to Zhang Sicheng, "Boss, you rest. We'll take care of this kid."
"They've really got some nerve, don't they even know if they have the ability?"
"You gigolo, I can take you down all by myself!"
As the three warriors spoke, they each grabbed their weapons and charged at Lin Zhen.
Zhang Sicheng didn't move this time. After his fight with Lin Zhen, he believed he had seen through Lin Zhen's strength. He thought his three subordinates were enough to easily deal with Lin Zhen, so he didn't need to lower himself to attack him.
The people below the stage also shook their heads. Most people thought that it was not terrible to be a little weaker, but it was too pathetic to be weak and not know it and still try to be a hero. Lin Zhen was a thousand times unworthy of his fairy-like female companion.
Fu Haisheng, a martial artist from the Capital City, had always secretly loved Su Mingyue. Seeing this situation, he felt his chance had come. He immediately walked to Su Mingyue's side and said in a deep voice, "This is my fault. I listened to Lin Zhen and rashly stepped off the stage with my opponent. Otherwise, if I were still on the stage, I believe things wouldn't have turned out this way. Ming Yue, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to cultivate. Next time, we will go on stage together to avenge Lin Zhen."
Su Mingyue glanced at Fu Haisheng: "Aren't you afraid Lin Zhen will punish you for saying such things?"
"He's barely able to save himself," Fu Haisheng sneered.
"Really? Then take a look for yourself." Su Mingyue ignored him and got up to move away from him.
Fu Haisheng glanced at the arena with disdain, but his eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock!
