Even the Heavenly King Can't Save You

Guo Mo and Yue Zhenhua's group went up the Heavenly Ladder to the top, and Ye Lanshan, worried about Su Mingyue, also followed them to the top platform.

It's raining here at Star Fruit Tree today. The wind and rain are raging outside, but the top platform offers some shelter from the rain, so people have all come to the edge of the platform.

From here, through the wind and rain, one can see the Tree Heart Lake in the distance, but these War God cannot enter. Those who have advanced to the level of War God within the Star Fruit Tree are better off; at the beginning, their aura is not strong, and they will be gradually rejected by the fruit tree. For those of them who have been War God for many years, the rejection by the fruit tree is even stronger, as if there is an invisible barrier blocking them, preventing them from even entering the Tree Crown Zone, and they can only watch from afar.

Standing on the platform, some martial artists gazed at the distant Tree Heart Lake amidst the heavy rain. "Tsk tsk! How nostalgic! It's been so many years since I've been here. Tree Heart Lake is still so beautiful."

Yue Zhenhua said impatiently, "What's so beautiful about a lousy lake? Let's hurry up and see if anyone has come out."

As he spoke, he squeezed to the spot closest to the Tree Crown Zone, hoping to be the first to see Yue Feng come out.

Since Yue Feng has already advanced to the War God level, he is expected to be released within the next day or two, or even sooner.

Guo Mo also came to the front, but in his heart, he hoped that Lin Zhen could come out. In his opinion, Lin Zhen was a martial artist with more potential than Yue Feng.

If Yue Zhenhua really interferes in the internal affairs of Star Fruit Tree, he will not stand idly by.

********

Yue Feng charged forward using his Star Artifact Long Spear and the Flame Power, piercing through tree trunks as he went, and rushed toward the Tree Heart Lake at top speed.

Lin Zhen found it difficult to attack Yue Feng at this moment. The tree trunks were quite thick, some even exceeding 100 meters in diameter. Yue Feng's tunnel-like approach made it impossible for Lin Zhen to launch a sudden attack from the side.

If they were to try to block him head-on, Yue Feng was already fighting desperately. Moreover, the power of the Solar True Fire inside the tree trunk was immeasurable. The Star Fruit Tree was full of moisture, and with the torrential Rainstorm, the Solar True Fire couldn't truly ignite a raging inferno, but it could still burn inside the trunk. Lin Zhen didn't want to intercept Yue Feng inside the wood, as that would mean mutual destruction.

He had the upper hand at the moment and certainly didn't want to die together with his opponent.

However, even without intercepting, pursuing from behind is a difficult task. Where Yue Feng passed, flames raged inside the tree trunks. Lin Zhen would also face great risks if he wanted to Teleport. Dozens of meters ahead were filled with waves of heat. Lin Zhen could only activate his protective shield to resist the pursuit from behind.

As a result, the speed inevitably slowed down. When Lin Zhen crawled out of a Tree Hole, he saw that Yue Feng had already entered the second tree trunk. He chased after him again, rushed out of the Tree Hole, and saw that Yue Feng had reached the Tree Heart Lake and was heading towards the Platform Area at high speed.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Lin Zhen Teleport, the Liquid Metal transformed into a shield under his feet, and flew rapidly. He then Teleport again, quickly closing the distance between himself and Yue Feng.

Despite having consumed speed-type Star Crystal, Yue Feng's speed was still far inferior to Lin Zhen's when they resonated with Lightning Ions and Charged Particles. This was manageable when there was only one passage inside the tree trunk, but once they were outside, the speed difference between the two became very obvious.

The two of them were practically skimming the water's surface as they moved forward, like two speedboats charging at extremely high speeds, creating towering waves.

If Yue Feng's speed can soar to 100 yards, then Lin Zhen's speed is at least 150, or even 180!

"Master, look! That's the Young Master! He's being chased!"

Upon closer inspection, Yue Zhenhua realized that Yue Feng was indeed being chased.

He was actually quite confident in Yue Feng's strength. He had nurtured him for many years and given him all the resources he needed, so Yue Feng was basically considered top-tier among his peers. However, he never expected that Yue Feng would be relentlessly pursued by another person at the Star Fruit Tree.

"Who is that person? How can they be so fast?" Yue Zhenhua immediately became anxious.

"It seems to be Lin Zhen. I looked up his information when I came here. This kid has also advanced to the War God level."

"So Feng'er was fighting this guy. Is he also a warrior of the Raging Wind?"

"Yes, he's from Ice City Base City, from Dongfang Jun's area."

"I didn't expect Dongfang Jun to have such a talent. But no matter who he is, he can't kill Feng'er. Feng'er has the armor I gave her, which can withstand his attacks, and even his Star Strike. Feng'er should still have a chance to turn the tide."

The people around him remained silent, thinking that if things could have been reversed, they probably wouldn't have been chased to such a sorry state. It would be better if his son were dead.

Of course, these words could only be uttered in one's mind; one would never say them aloud in front of Yue Zhenhua.

Beetles from land, Sea-Land-Air, buzzing as they flew over. Yue Feng, his body enveloped in flames, charged forward recklessly. He had already seen people on the platform, and even his father, Yue Zhenhua. If he could reach the platform, he would surely be rescued.

"Lin Zhen! If you can't kill me today, I'll make sure you die!"

He gritted his teeth, using almost every ounce of strength he had, and waves surged high behind him.

"You dare to ask me to die? You have no right to talk! Yue Feng, today I'll make you taste the bitterness of despair!"

As the two gradually closed the distance, Lin Zhen finally seized an opportunity, and a Gravity suddenly enveloped him!

At this moment, Yue Feng was on the verge of life and death, and his sense of touch was exceptionally sensitive. Just before Lin Zhen was about to make a move, he resolutely removed the armor from his body!

The Star Artifact Armor was pulled by Gravity and fell into Lin Zhen's hands.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhen put the armor into his Space Ring. Although the Star Power inside the armor dissipated, the materials alone were worth more than 3 billion!

His first attack missed, and the distance widened slightly, which made Yue Zhenhua on the platform incredibly excited. "Feng'er! All those material possessions are lost, you must come back!"

But as soon as he shouted, Lin Zhen accelerated again, and the distance between the two had closed to less than thirty meters!

At this moment, Yue Feng was still about 500 meters away from the platform.

Yue Zhenhua, no longer caring about his soaked clothes, pressed himself against the invisible barrier between the Tree Crown Zone and the platform, and roared, "Lin Zhen, I am Yue Zhenhua, the Grand Hall Master the Raging Wind Martial Hall Academy! Release Feng'er now, and I'll let you take over as the headmaster of the Ice City Base City!"

Yue Feng was overjoyed to hear his father's call. In his opinion, Lin Zhen had just advanced to the War God and had already barely met the standard to take over as the head of the sect. This temptation was enormous, and he did not believe that Lin Zhen could resist it.

Lin Zhen is only twenty years old. Becoming the War God and succeeding as the head of the academy at the age of twenty is extremely rare in the history of the God Transformation Calendar.

Which young person doesn't crave vanity? Which one is truly calm and detached from fame and fortune? Even Yue Feng himself would be more than willing to take over as the head of a Base City if he could, let alone that poor kid Lin Zhen.

Looking back, if Lin Zhen agreed, the speed should have slowed down.

But when he turned around, he saw Lin Zhen with a cold smile on her lips, rushing towards him at lightning speed, only twenty meters away.

"Holy crap! Lin Zhen, you're fucking insane! Let me go, and I promise you'll get that 100 billion!"

"I don't need your assurances, it's already mine. Just leave it with me!"

As they drew closer, Yue Zhenhua, whose lips were already blistered, shouted again, "Lin Zhen, don't be so reckless! If you dare kill Feng'er, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

"Consequences? If I'm afraid of the consequences, I, Lin Zhen, might as well drown myself in the lake right now! Don't even think about saving Yue Feng Yue Zhenhua, not even if the Heavenly King came!"

Seeing that they were no more than two hundred meters away from the platform, Lin Zhen raised his hand and another Gravity enveloped them.

This time, Yue Feng threw his Star Artifact Long Spear at Lin Zhen!

This Long Spear, named the Tyrant Spear by Yue Feng, is the best weapon Lin Zhen has ever seen, even better than the longsword Li Tianhao had last time.

"This is a great item; I've had my eye on it for a while now, it's mine!"

Enveloped by Gravity, Lin Zhen stored the Long Spear inside his Space Ring.

There were still 100 meters to go, and about 15 meters between the two men. Yue Feng still had a chance to escape.

Yue Zhenhua clenched his fists excitedly. As long as Yue Feng survived, he would definitely grind Lin Zhen to dust.

Eighty meters...

Fifty meters...

Thirty meters.

Ten meters.

Yue Zhenhua excitedly stretched out his arm, but unfortunately he could not pass through the invisible barrier.

Yue Feng was still running for his life, while Lin Zhen's speed had also reached its limit. During the flight, he kept Teleport, and the distance between the two was closed in a flash.

He raised the tip of his left hand, and a ball of Light-Electric began to gather at the tip.

Five meters!

Lin Zhen Teleport again and finally caught up!

"Yue Feng, pay the price for your actions!"

"Puff!"

The Light-Electric exploded at the back of Yue Feng's head, and the photon particles invaded his brain, directly destroying his Mental Sea of Consciousness and completely damaging his brain tissue!

Yue Feng had already rushed to his father's side, reaching out one hand but unable to lift it, his eyes unfocused, and his body collapsed forward.

At this moment, Yue Zhenhua finally caught Yue Feng's hand, his right hand, and was about to pull him out from behind the barrier that was isolating him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Zhen grabbed Yue Feng's left hand and yanked off the ring with a large space that had emerged from the Ancient God Ruins.

Then, Yue Feng was pulled out by Yue Zhenhua.

Lin Zhen breathed a long sigh of relief. His arduous pursuit had finally paid off, as he had managed to strip Yue Feng naked before Yue Zhenhua could.

Ignoring Yue Zhenhua, who was already overwhelmed with grief, he looked at Guo Mo in the crowd. "Head Instructor, I killed the enemy inside the Star Fruit Tree, so this spoil of war is rightfully mine, isn't it?"

Guo Mo smiled wryly, thinking to himself that Lin Zhen too carefree. She had become War God and was about to leave the fruit tree, but instead of thinking about how to deal with Yue Zhenhua, she was still thinking about taking Yue Feng's ring.

However, it's understandable; once the person is killed, whether or not the ring is removed is not important.

However, Lin Zhen really lived up to expectations, actually managing to kill Yue Feng. This secretly pleased Guo Mo, who disliked Yue Feng, and he declared righteously, "Yes, according to the rules, that's what you deserve, and no one has the right to interfere!"

Today, I'm adding a third chapter as a bonus. This is to celebrate the new Helm Master of this book (Tu Ya De Bai Zhi). Thank you, Helm Master, for the 10,000 Qidian Coins reward!
