Cross the Line and You'll Be Killed Without Mercy!
"Big Brother Lin!" Zhao Xiaoman shouted excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes, just like a child who had been wronged and saw their parents.
"Boss Lin, our idol!" Jiang Huai and the others shouted, their joy overflowing.
It had been three months, a full three months since they had seen Lin Zhen. They were even starting to despair, wondering if something had happened to Lin Zhen.
But unexpectedly, Lin Zhen returned, and at the most crucial moment.
Although there were countless enemies here, seeing Lin Zhen brought a strange sense of relief to the group. With Lin Zhen back, everything would be alright.
Although this kind of thinking is very irrational, it is precisely the sense of trust that Lin Zhen brings to them.
Upon seeing Lin Zhen appear, Hua Cangtian and the others' expressions changed.
"Don't worry, everyone. Lin Zhen is just a person, and besides, he was Dong Shencai's defeated opponent before. Even if he has improved, how many nails can he hammer with his body made of iron?"
Tong Huan shouted from the side, "Get ready to attack! You've already made your move, there's no turning back now. If you don't kill Lin Zhen, he'll definitely kill you all if he gets the chance. You're all martial artists, don't have any of that damned sympathy. Throw that stuff into the gutter!"
It must be said that Tong Huan's encouragement was quite effective. Although these martial artists did not dare to make a move immediately, they still slowly surrounded them.
Lin Zhen walked through the hazy light filtering through the trees, gradually revealing her figure.
He ignored the martial artists and Hua Cangtian and the others, and instead looked at his four teammates who were forced into a corner at the back of the crowd. He smiled apologetically and said, "Jiang Huai, Chang Ying, Qing Feng, Xiao Man, I'm really sorry. I was trapped in one place for a while and only managed to get out today. I rushed back as soon as possible, but you still got injured. It's my fault. I'm not a very good captain."
"No, Big Brother Lin, don't say that. I think you're the most competent, you're the best. I believe you'll definitely come back and teach these bad guys a lesson." Zhao Xiaoman said, her little mouth splitting open as she cried. She cried as she spoke, turning her face into a mess.
Jiang Huai looked at Lin Zhen: "Idol, I believe what you said. If you were trapped, then the place that trapped you must be extraordinary. With your skills and willpower, it took you this long to get out. If it were anyone else, they might have been trapped to death. Since you came to save us, I will recognize you as my idol for life."
Li Changying wiped the blood from his shoulder. "Boss Lin, I, Li Changying, have never submitted to anyone, but I submit to you. After we leave Star Fruit Tree, through wind and rain, as long as you, Boss Lin, say the word, I, Li Changying, will never hesitate. We'll brave mountains of knives and seas of fire!"
Lou Qingfeng took a deep breath. "Boss, we've had some past grievances, and my initial purpose in coming to the God General Training Camp was even to kill you. But now I've figured it out. I was foolish before. A martial artist should have the integrity of a martial artist, not be someone else's dog. I admire what you, Boss Lin, have done. When we return to Ice City, if Li Wanfeng wants to deal with you, I, Lou Qingfeng, will fight alongside you! To hell with that damn War God, I'm not serving him anymore!"
Lin Zhen looked at her teammates and smiled knowingly. "Everyone's promises will come true. We still have a long time to get together."
At this moment, Hua Cangtian, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't stand it anymore. "Hey, you bunch of good-for-nothings, are you ever going to stop babbling on and on? Is this some kind of farewell speech for a parting of ways? If so, I'll give you one more minute to catch up, is that enough?"
Li Xuanqiong scoffed, "It's ridiculous. These guys actually have the mood to dream about the future. Don't they even have a future? Maybe they should be saying, 'Let's meet again in the underworld.'"
Lin Zhen said to Jiang Huai and the others, "You guys just stay put and protect yourselves. I guarantee you'll be safe. I'll take care of these guys by myself."
Jiang Huai and the others nodded. Although they still had some fighting strength, Lin Zhen the captain, and his words were orders. Moreover, they all trusted Lin Zhen completely.
If Lin Zhen is defeated, the group will fight their way out together and live or die with Lin Zhen.
Seeing Lin Zhen facing nearly a hundred martial artists alone, Lin Zhen Tong Huan sized him up and down. "Kid, you've been gone for three months, how come your cultivation hasn't improved at all? You're still only at the first level of Compression. You dare to be so arrogant with such a low level? You really don't know what death means, do you? Come on, draw up the rules, and we brothers will play with you?"
Lin Zhen has Dark Star within his body, which is different from the Dantian of any other martial artist. Although he has compressed his Dantian Qi by more than nine times, no one can detect anything amiss. Therefore, in their eyes, Lin Zhen is still about the same as when he first arrived at the Beehive.
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Alright, let's draw a line and have some fun."
After speaking, Lin Zhen simply rolled up his sleeves, straightened his clothes, picked up the Bright Silver Spear, and gave it a light shake. A Golden Rooster Shakes Its Head, and a string of spear flowers drifted like rain.
"Smack!"
Lin Zhen lowered her head and drew a horizontal line on the ground.
Lin Zhen raised his head again. "Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I've drawn a line; anyone who dares to cross it today will be killed without mercy!"
Suddenly, the Long Spear was raised, its sharpness aimed directly at the group of martial artists. Lin Zhen shouted, his voice booming like thunder. "Who will fight!"
This roar was incredibly loud, startling the martial artists. After all, Lin Zhen was a prominent figure who had injured Dong Shencai, so no one dared to underestimate him.
Seeing the group of martial artists take a step back, Tong Huan shouted angrily, "Do you guys have brains? He's only at the first level of compression. Even if you're no match for him, you could exhaust him with a war of attrition or a group fight. He actually dares to draw a line: whoever dares to be the first to step forward, I'll report to the Tyrant and have him taken to the Sky Dome!"
A generous reward will surely attract brave men. Hearing Tong Huan's words, some fearless individuals finally stepped forward.
A martial artist at the third level of the Compression Realm was the first to jump out. "Lin Zhen, things are different today. You're staying here!"
As he spoke, the man's Long Sword stirred up a storm, and he charged at Lin Zhen with considerable force.
Lin Zhen recognized the man; it was Captain Wang from the West Third Team.
"Hehe, it's someone I know. Good thing you came!"
Just as Captain Wang was about to reach the horizontal line, Lin Zhen made a lightning-fast move!
The Bright Silver Spear moved like a venomous snake, its tip flashing and retracting in a single motion!
"Puff!"
A red dot appeared between Captain Wang's eyebrows, which slowly grew larger and spread until blood flowed down from his brow. His eyes glazed over, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, dying instantly!
"Holy crap! This kid's ruthless!"
"This is absolutely outrageous! They're really refusing to believe it!"
"Brothers, we've come this far, there's no turning back. Let's charge in and chop Lin Zhen to pieces!"
Encouraged by many fanatical martial artists, the martial artists in front rushed forward in a flurry.
At this moment, everyone used all their skills and trump cards. The swords flashed like a tide, and the shadows of swords flew everywhere. Interspersed among them were the weapons of Mind Power Master, such as Flying Shuttle and Flying Knife. Some people even took out long-unused firearms and began to bombard the area because of the distance.
Countless attacks came from all directions, and even the War God had to temporarily avoid their sharp edge!
Jiang Huai and the others watched nervously, thinking that Lin Zhen should hide, otherwise he would be doomed.
Some people were even on the left and right, ready to rush up and kill Lin Zhen Lin Zhen as soon as he tried to dodge, determined to leave him here.
But Lin Zhen surprised everyone. Instead of dodging, he flicked his Long Spear, and Ten Thousand Peach Blossoms Bloom!
A flurry of gunfire rushed forward, colliding head-on with the surging crowd.
Speed!
Incredible speed!
Using the advantage of his Long Spear, Lin Zhen's spear light arrived first despite being behind. A point of blood appeared, then two points of blood appeared, followed by several spurts of blood shooting straight into the sky!
Whoosh!
Lin Zhen holstered his gun and retreated, leaving the ground in a mess!
On that line, seven people fell, each one just barely stepping onto the line, yet none of them managed to get any closer. Blood gushed from between each of their brows; not a single one survived!
After the initial attack, the warriors behind continued to surge forward, and those in front, with nowhere to retreat, gritted their teeth and charged again. "Lin Zhen, I'll fight you to the death!"
"Attack together, attack together and he'll be finished!"
Lin Zhen sneered and thrust his Long Spear again. After a burst of Gale Spear Brilliance, seven more corpses appeared on the ground. Just like last time, they died instantly if they stepped on the line, and were fine if they didn't.
Moreover, Lin Zhen had always been wielding the gun with one hand. When he saw the martial artist stop, he flicked his wrist, and a bunch of things were thrown to the ground.
"Don't show off these things anymore. They're not even worthy of being used to scratch an itch."
On the ground lay a jumble of Flying Shuttle, needles, and Flying Knife, along with hundreds of bright orange bullets, all aimed at Lin Zhen at that moment, yet he caught them all without missing a single one.
Is it even possible for a human to shoot someone while simultaneously catching bullets and throwing Flying Knife with their bare hands?
"Wow! There's a ghost!"
"I'm quitting! I'm not playing anymore, we can't win this game!"
"Hey you guys, don't push me! Go ahead and try!"
These martial artists were terrified and immediately tried to retreat.
Upon seeing this situation, Tong Huan immediately became anxious. "Don't retreat! Now split up and attack! Attack Lin Zhen on one side and Jiang Huai and the others on the other. Make Lin Zhen unable to defend himself from both sides. Once he's distracted, he'll be easier to deal with."
Some martial artists at the back of the line couldn't see the situation in front clearly enough. But when they heard Tong Huan's words, they thought they made sense. At this moment, Lin Zhen was blocked by the crowd, and Jiang Huai and the others were already at their limit. It would be easy to capture them.
Immediately, many martial artists from the back row charged towards Jiang Huai and his group.
Jiang Huai others immediately picked up their knives and guns, ready to resist, determined not to hold Lin Zhen back.
Just then, a figure appeared out of thin air in front of Jiang Huai and the others, as if by magic. Another flash of spear light followed, and seven more corpses fell to the ground.
Lin Zhen raised his head and looked at the group of martial artists who were dumbfounded and had no idea how Lin Zhen had flown over the crowd to appear here. He slowly drew a line on the ground again.
"Look, I've drawn another line. Anyone who steps on this line will be killed without mercy!"
