Seeing Kholov Again
No one expected that the battle between Lin Zhen and Yan Huang would be so fierce, that they would fight to the death.
But no one could intervene, and the outcome seemed to be predetermined.
In her dazed state, Lin Zhen saw the compass in her hand.
On the compass, a large red dot is approaching this place at an extremely high speed.
Seeing this, Lin Zhen's spirits lifted.
Extremely dangerous!
Yan Huang is currently just a large black dot on the compass, not yet red. Once he turns red, it will mean that he is irresistible.
Yan Huang was now behind Lin Zhen, and he saw it too; his pupils dilated instantly.
Who are these people?
Both men almost simultaneously considered ending the fight; if they continued to entangle themselves, it would be a joke if someone else benefited from the conflict.
Before they could make a move, a figure sprang from behind a hill opposite them.
As soon as his feet touched the ground, the man was propelled more than a thousand meters away, heading straight for the two of them.
His body was covered in powerful muscles, he wore only a pair of leather pants, held a huge War Hammer in his hand, and had blood-red eyes, making him look almost inhuman.
"Kholov!"
The two were both taken aback, never expecting to see Kholov here, who had disappeared since the God of War Arena.
Judging from Kholov's expression, he seems somewhat different from before.
"Gah gah gah! Two native humans are actually fighting to the death here. Since you're both going to die anyway, then die by my hand."
Kholov was more determined to kill Lin Zhen than anyone else. He couldn't even accept that Lin Zhen would die at someone else's hands. In an instant, he was in front of the two of them, and he swung his War Hammer down!
With a single strike Star Power coalesced, tearing space apart, and the two were instantly in mortal danger!
At that moment Lin Zhen and Yan Huang both let go.
Teleport!
Yan Huang Teleport, and Lin Zhen Teleport too. His goal was actually to be with Yan Huang!
Yan Huang appeared a hundred meters away, with Lin Zhen beside him, Kholov followed closely like a cannonball.
"Hehe! Although this body of mine lacks Mental Power, my powerful physical strength is enough to keep up with your Teleport. You can't escape!"
Yan Huang was Yan Huang. Lin Zhen was too cunning. Seeing that the opponent was coming on strong, he insisted on dragging him into the fight. He didn't want to fight like this.
Especially with Kholov's obvious surge in strength, he was even more inclined to sit back and watch the two tigers fight.
But Lin Zhen would never give Yan Huang that chance. The current Kholov is not Kholov, but a puppet controlled by an Extraterrestrial Civilization. Lin Zhen is no match for him at the moment. His only chance is to use Yan Huang to entangle the opponent while he takes the opportunity to leave.
Having fought to this point, Lin Zhen has already proven his strength. There will be another time for him to fight Yan Huang in the future, so it is no longer appropriate to continue fighting today.
Yan Huang's continuous Teleport failed to shake off Lin Zhen. After all, Teleport also involves fluctuations in Star Power. For a Teleport expert like Lin Zhen, it was entirely possible to judge the direction and distance of the Teleport based on the fluctuations in Star Power, allowing him to stick to Yan Huang like glue.
Yan Huang didn't even have time to attack Lin Zhen, because Kholov, with his abnormal physical abilities, was able to accurately pursue the two of them every time, and the time difference was getting shorter and shorter, so they didn't even have a chance to Teleport.
Left with no other choice, Yan Huang roared in anger, suddenly raising his hand, and the Holy Light Sword and Shield that had been in the distance fell into his grasp once more. "I am Yan Huang Kholov, the Lord of the Church! Lucifer, do you dare to lay a hand on me?"
"He's just a local chieftain, one of those people we'll rule sooner or later. What's with all the swagger?"
Kholov let out a strange laugh and appeared in front of the two of them. Lin Zhen used his Lightning Wings to hide behind Yan Huang.
Kholov was about to jump over Yan Huang's head to attack Lin Zhen, which touched a nerve with Yan Huang.
He was the Pope; how could he tolerate being humiliated like this? He was already incredibly frustrated that he had fought Lin Zhen to a draw, because he still had many tricks up his sleeve. But now that Kholov was trying to pull this stunt on him, he absolutely could not accept it.
"Get out of my way!"
With a leap, Yan Huang slashed down with the Holy Light Long Sword in his hand!
"Get out of my way, you're getting in my way!"
Kholov didn't want to kill Yan Huang, because he could tell that Yan Huang was not easy to kill, while Lin Zhen was easier to kill. He swung his War Hammer and slammed it out.
"Clang!"
After a thunderous explosion, Yan Huang's body was sent flying backward, blasted a hundred meters through the air by Kholov.
Lin Zhen remained steadfastly by Yan Huang's side, and with a flap of his Lightning Wings, he arrived at Yan Huang's side. Soon after Kholov followed like a ghost.
Yan Huang felt like he was about to vomit blood. He hadn't expected that this Kholov would be this strong. Although he didn't want to fight, he couldn't back down in front of countless Church believers and the world's audience.
A beam of white light descended from the sky, and five Sacred Artifact Armor landed on Yan Huang's body.
This was the first time Lin Zhen had ever seen Yan Huang truly wearing the complete set of Sacred Artifact.
Bright White light shone on the suit, and at that moment Lin Zhen realized that the quality of the suit seemed to have improved.
"As expected, there's something special about this set. After being infused with the power of the Radiance Atoms, its quality was actually improved, turning it into a mid-grade Sacred Artifact Set."
"If Yan Huang had been wearing this outfit when he fought me just now, I probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few moves."
Yan Huang put on the Sacred Artifact set and said to Lin Zhen beside him, "Lin Zhen, do you dare to join forces to deal with this Tsarist Russia first, and then we can have a final showdown?"
In Yan Huang's view, Lin Zhen had almost died with him twice just now, so he must hate him to the bone and definitely wanted to fight him to the death.
As expected, Lin Zhen nodded, and the Liquid Metal in his hand transformed into a Long Spear, seemingly ready to fight alongside Yan Huang.
With a roar, Kholov arrived in front of him. Yan Huang brandished his Long Sword and charged forward, while Lin Zhen circled around from the side, seemingly trying to attack Kholov's rear.
Yan Huang's strength indeed surged after donning the Holy Light Set. His entire body was overflowing with Star Power, and he was no longer easily defeated when facing Kholov head-on.
But as soon as he engaged in combat with Kholov, he saw Lin Zhen flapping his Lightning Wings and heading straight for the entrance to the Second Layer again.
"Damn it!"
Yan Huang roared, wishing he could grab Lin Zhen and eat her alive, while Kholov roared and abandoned Yan Huang, chasing after Lin Zhen.
The two chased after Lin Zhen almost simultaneously and disappeared from sight in an instant.
The onlookers looked at each other, wondering what was going on.
Chasing Lin Zhen was no easy task. Lin Zhen flapped his Lightning Wings and arrived at the entrance to the Second Layer in less than thirty seconds.
Although Yan Huang and Kholov were also fast, they were still slightly slower than Lin Zhen. As Lin Zhen entered the Second Layer, they followed one after another, only to see Lin Zhen's figure heading towards South Pole.
Neither of them made a move, but instead followed Lin Zhen closely as he headed south.
But once they set out, they discovered how difficult it was to travel south.
The middle area of Second Layer is still lush and green, but as you walk further south, the temperature drops lower and lower. First, you arrive at a barren Wasteland covered in frost, and gradually, you can't see any green vegetation at all.
Looking at the howling wind and snow on the icy plains ahead, Kholov stopped in his tracks.
"No, I remember this Second Layer very clearly. It's over a hundred degrees below zero at the South Pole Point. Without fire-resistant equipment and Flame Heart, it's impossible to get through. Although this body is strong, it's still flesh and blood. Going to the South Pole like this will definitely freeze to death."
Shu Mingxuan forcefully suppressed Kholov's urge to seek revenge immediately. Instead, he turned around and walked back. Even if he wanted revenge, he couldn't do it here. Besides, he could go directly to the third floor to intercept Lin Zhen. There was no need to throw his life away here.
Kholov temporarily abandoned the pursuit, and Yan Huang continued walking forward for a while longer.
After crossing the icy plains, a large snow-capped mountain appeared ahead. The temperature had suddenly dropped to minus seventy degrees Celsius, and Yan Huang was finding it hard to bear. After all, he had not prepared any firepower equipment, and this temperature was simply unbearable for humans.
"Damn Lin Zhen, you've managed to escape this time, but don't get too cocky. I'll be waiting for you in Constantinople to walk right into my trap."
"Larix, where are you? You took my World-Breaking Nail and Invisibility Cloak and just vanished! If you were here today, Lin Zhen wouldn't be so arrogant!"
Yan Huang cursed Lin Zhen and his missing teacher in his heart, then turned and walked towards the first floor.
When Yan Huang appeared at the entrance to the first floor, the long-waiting followers of the Divine Cult immediately surrounded him, looking at Yan Huang with expectant eyes, hoping that he would tell them that he had killed Lin Zhen.
Yan Huang also wanted to say that he had killed Lin Zhen, but he couldn't lie. Many experts on the Star Ranking could see that Lin Zhen's name was still on the Star Ranking, and if he lied, he would be exposed immediately.
"Return to the Church!"
Yan Huang face, and the surrounding members of the Divine Cult followed without daring to breathe.
The crowd gradually dispersed, but everything here was now known to the whole world.
Although the battle between Yan Huang and Lin Zhen went on until the very end without a clear winner, Yan Huang, being Meteor Stage, was unable to defeat Lin Zhen in a direct confrontation, which effectively meant he lost.
This greatly disappointed many followers of the Divine Cult. Their attempt to capture Lin Zhen not only failed, but also resulted in heavy losses, with several Stellar Realm experts dying, and a large number of the Quasi-Star Realm and War God experts also perishing. Even the Pope was nearly strangled to death by Lin Zhen. In the end, Lin Zhen managed to escape.
This result was undoubtedly hard to accept, and some Divine Cult began to lose faith in the Divine Cult, quietly initiating another wave of withdrawals.
Back at the Divine Might Church in Constantinople, Yan Huang heard about Gongsun Du's performance in the Ancient God City.
He pondered for a long while with a gloomy expression, then instructed those below, "I am going into seclusion now. I will not come out until I have completely refined the Starry Sky Crown. During this time, you must not say or do anything, just wait for me to come out."
"But Your Majesty, even more people are leaving the religion now."
"No matter what, everything will change once I emerge from seclusion. Lin Zhen will die, my wedding will still proceed as planned, and our Divine Cult will regain its former glory!"
Chapter 2 is guaranteed to be released today.
