Rescuing An Ning

A flash of white light appeared before his eyes, and Lin Zhen appeared on the arena.

Almost at the same time, a slender girl appeared opposite him.

With a cold, Metal Mask, long golden hair, and blue eyes, Chris slowly walked towards Lin Zhen, holding a Long Sword in her hand.

"Chris," Lin Zhen said.

"Let's not say anything more. Now that we're on this stage, we're enemies, aren't we?" Chris said.

Lin Zhen nodded silently.

"Now you represent Huaxia, and I represent the European Union. Let's settle this once and for all. I will not hold back in the slightest."

Lin Zhen took out the Broken Jade Long Spear: "Me too."

"Clang!"

Without warning, a sword suddenly slashed down with incredible speed!

Lin Zhen was also quick, raising his Long Spear to parry.

Just as she blocked the sword, the sword in Chris's hand transformed into a storm, a true storm of sword energy, which descended like Gale downpour.

"Immovable as a Mountain!"

Lin Zhen's Broken Jade swayed, scattering beams of light that tightly guarded a three-foot radius, directly withstanding Chris's sword energy storm.

As expected of someone who had held the top spot on the Slaughter List for so long, Chris's sword aura storm was simply endless. She struck more than a hundred times every second, covering the area and causing Mars to fly all around Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's Long Spear was fast enough, with Electric Light flashing and golden snakes leaping as it was swung, withstanding the opponent's sword energy storm without retreating in the slightest.

The intense firefight left everyone stunned. No one expected these two to be so strong. Lin Zhen a mid-level seventh-grade War God, while Chris was only at the peak of the sixth grade. However, when they fought, they seemed to be much more ferocious than those Level Nine God of War.

Chris's continuous five-minute frenzied attack still failed to repel Lin Zhen. With a wave of her hand, three Flying Sword rose into the air in succession. Each of them was Top-Grade Star Artifact and began to attack Lin Zhen from all angles.

"What a Mental Sword Control! Your Mental Power has actually reached the Dark Gold Mid Stage!"

"Enough talk, Lin Zhen, let's settle this today!"

Chris didn't want to say anything more to Lin Zhen. She wielded four swords and launched a fierce attack without regard for anything else.

Lin Zhen's body began to slowly rotate in place, and the Broken Jade in his hand set up a light screen in front of and behind him, activating the intent of Body Like a Mountain, so that he did not move an inch no matter how Chris's Flying Sword attacked.

Waves of sword energy occasionally struck the arena, producing muffled thuds.

Among the crowd watching the battle in Ice City, many people were discussing their fight.

For example, some of the original members of Raging Wind, such as Zhao Liang, Shi Lei, Gao Yan, and Meng Dong, were watching the match.

Meng Dong is now a Level Seven War General and hangs out with Zhao Liang and the others.

Zhao Liang spoke first, "This Chris is very strong. If this continues, Lin Zhen might be in some danger, although her defense is indeed very strong."

"I also think this can't go on. Lin Zhen should seize the time to fight back." Shi Lei was also puzzled.

Gao Yan pondered for a moment, "It's probably a war of attrition. After all, women's stamina is relatively weak. Chris might not be able to withstand this level of attack for long, and then Lin Zhen will probably counterattack."

Meng Dong remained silent until a while later, Zhao Liang asked, "Meng Dong, you and Lin Zhen have a very good relationship. What's going on?"

Meng Dong lowered his head and thought for a while, "I'm not entirely sure either, but I feel like I've seen this Chris somewhere before, like she's someone I know."

"Someone you know? No way, Chris's from the European Union. Have you ever been there?"

"No, I've never left Ice City Base City, but I always feel like Chris is familiar to me. Oh! Who does she remind me of?" Meng Dong slapped his head, but couldn't say who she was.

********

On the ring, Chris's attack suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Chris? You're already so weak?"

The countless sword shadows suddenly vanished. Chris sheathed her sword and retreated, her large, sea-blue eyes fixed on Lin Zhen: "Fighting like this is pointless. I know your defense is called Immovable as a Mountain; ordinary attacks can't harm you."

"So you're going to give up and admit defeat?" Lin Zhen smiled.

"You're wrong. I've thought of a quick way to win. This is a virtual arena. We can't hold back. One strike decides the winner, and the loser is eliminated."

"Okay." Lin Zhen nodded.

Chris snorted coldly, combined the four swords in her hands into one, and unleashed a burst of Dantian Qi!

As soon as he made his move, towering waves surged across the entire arena. These were not virtual waves, but real ocean waves. The enormous waves, carrying the force of thunder, crashed down on Lin Zhen!

Within that wave, a massive sword, enveloped in dense Water Element, slashed down!

"This is... Overturning River!" Lin Zhen exclaimed in horror as he looked at the enormous waves.

This is clearly the power that can only be achieved by unleashing the fifth move of the Nine Heavy Spears River, the Overturning River. Moreover, Chris has definitely mastered the Water Element, as she is able to condense Water Element into giant waves, making the Overturning River Technique even more powerful.

This is no longer the original Overturning River, but a unique combat skill that Chris developed herself based on the Overturning River Technique manual.

Just like Lin Zhen's self-created Thunder Kill, it is unique in the world. Without Lin Zhen's teaching, no one else could learn it, and even if they mastered the Lightning Element, it would be useless.

Generally speaking, only Stellar Realm masters have their own unique combat techniques. These techniques are incredibly diverse and come in all shapes and sizes, but very few God of War Level can actually achieve this.

At least in this lifetime, this was the first time Lin Zhen had ever seen someone use a combat technique in person, and that person was Chris.

Lin Zhen dared not be careless in the face of such an attack, and at this moment, his Dantian Qi also erupted.

With the Broken Jade Long Spear in his hand swaying like a serpent, Lin Zhen's Light-Electric power also erupted at this moment.

He didn't use Thunder Kill, nor did he use the newly acquired Seven Stars Knife; he used Teleport!

Just as he was falling from the Overturning River, Lin Zhen suddenly activated his Teleport!

"Bang!"

Chris launched Mental Impact on Lin Zhen, attempting to interrupt Lin Zhen Teleport.

However, she did not achieve it completely. Lin Zhen's Mental Power was already at the peak of the Dark Gold Late Stage, while Chris's Mental Power was inferior to his.

Although he didn't achieve his goal, Lin Zhen was still slightly affected, and his Teleport time was slowed down by a fraction of a second!

Chris's backlash was not significant, as she was wearing a mid-grade mental defense Star Artifact, which was sufficient to withstand most of the backlash.

Lin Zhen appeared behind Chris and unleashed a surprise attack with the Broken Jade jade in his hand!

The Light-Electric surged through the gun, aiming straight for Chris's back!

Chris was no ordinary person either. The turbulent waves Overturning River reversed, as if she had known all along that Lin Zhen was going to use this move. In an instant, turbid waves surged across the arena, heading straight for Lin Zhen!

At this moment, it was too late for Lin Zhen to use Teleport again. He had not expected Chris to use his tactics so well. Even if he could kill Chris with one shot, he probably wouldn't be able to avoid this "Overturning River" attack.

Lin Zhen Xuan Ze to transform his Liquid Metal into a shield to block Chris's Overturning River, though injury was probably inevitable.

The Long Spear continued its thrust, and with the enhancement of Light-Electric and Gold Qi, the Broken Jade reached the strength of Top-Grade Star Artifact, piercing through Chris's frail body in one strike!

Almost simultaneously with Lin Zhen, the enormous sword blade in the Overturning River swept over Lin Zhen's Lin Zhen, taking away a strand of his long hair.

"Well!"

Chris groaned and collapsed weakly to the ground.

Hearing that voice, Lin Zhen's heart clenched. He turned around abruptly and helped the fallen Chris up. "Didn't you say you had no chance? Why did you do this?"

"No, I lost, I lost miserably. Lin Zhen, am I destined to always lose to you?" Beneath the cold Metal Mask, Chris's tears streamed down her face.

Through that touch of blue, Lin Zhen seemed to see Chris's heart.

"This is just a virtual arena, and it won't actually cause any harm. Isn't a draw a good outcome? Maybe we can even both advance because of it."

"Stop deceiving yourselves. There's no such thing as both advancing; it's just that both will be eliminated. Goodbye, Lin Zhen."

Chris finally couldn't hold on any longer and was declared dead by the system; her body turned into white light and disappeared.

The system announced, "Lin Zhen from Huaxia has advanced to the top 32. Today's competition is over. We will continue tomorrow."

At Lin Zhen's home, he took off his helmet and remained silent.

Chris still couldn't bring herself to do it; women's thoughts are always different from men's.

Lin Zhen won and advanced, but he felt no joy at all. Perhaps he should go find her.

Just then, Lin Zhen's phone rang.

When I picked it up, I saw that the caller was Hansen.

"Lin, something bad has happened! Old John has gone berserk!"

"Tell me slowly, what happened?" Lin Zhen asked hurriedly.

"Here's the thing, Old John just saw your fight with Chris, and he said Chris held back during the fight, that she's a traitor to the European Union, and that he wants to execute Chris!"

"Execution! That serious?" Lin Zhen was stunned.

"Of course it's that serious. This battle is being broadcast live worldwide. Now Chris has become a public enemy in the European Union, and Old John is already preparing to Burning Stake her alive! Alice and I have no way to stop him. Old John is already at the Stellar Realm."

"You're in Paris, right?" Lin Zhen asked.

Yes, we are under the Paris Eiffel Tower.

Lin Zhen hung up the phone and instantly Teleport out the window.

The Black Phantom hovered in the air, and his body entered the Black Phantom.

Just as they were about to close the hatch, Little Warm ran in with Lin Zhen.

The power system accelerated to its maximum in an instant, and the Black Phantom sped off westward at ten times the speed of sound!

"You must wait for me, Chris, no... An Ning!"
