I'll Protect You

Lin Zhen had assumed that it would be the Mantis Commander and his men again, but to his surprise, it wasn't.

The two groups arrived almost simultaneously. The one on the left was Lanka from the Landis Empire, who brought over a hundred Landis warriors.

The one coming from the right is Jinnaluo from the Rakshasa Empire, accompanied by about two hundred Rakshasa.

Seeing the two of them, Lin Zhen secretly groaned in his heart. Both of them were top-notch experts, as they had already proven on the Suspended Island.

At least in a one-on-one situation, Lin Zhen believed that winning would be extremely difficult.

With one arm around Qingluan's waist, Lin Zhen faced Jinnaluo and Lanka: "What? Are your two countries also going to be our enemies?"

Jinnaluo whistled. "No! Lin Zhen, don't take this as an action by our country. It's just that Lanka and I are hired by the Insect Race and we've taken their commission. You should understand the saying 'take money and do business,' so we're going to kill you and the woman in your arms."

Lanka said with a hint of amusement, "Lin Zhen, I really didn't expect you to have such abilities. Back on the Suspended Island, I thought this woman and Ye Hua were having an affair, or at least that she would definitely be Ye Hua's someday. I never expected you to show up halfway and steal her away from Ye Hua, hahaha! If Ye Hua knew this, he would be furious!"

"Then let's just let him know, shall we? I've already recorded this and sent it to the Dimensional Universe. I'm sure Ye Hua will see it."

Jinnaluo and Lanka chimed in from the sidelines, both to provoke the two and to assess Feng Qingluan's condition, which seemed unlikely to last much longer. If that were the case, they could win without taking any risks.

Feng Qingluan nestled against Lin Zhen's chest. "Lin Zhen, let me go. I can still deliver the final blow, and then you can leave safely."

Lin Zhen's eyes were bloodshot. He gently smoothed Feng Qingluan's long hair. "No! I still have the strength to fight. As long as I have a breath left, I won't allow you to leave me, Qingluan, wait for me!"

Turning around, Lin Zhen gently placed Feng Qingluan under the Phoenix Tree, holding the Yin-Yang Long Spear in his hand. "Wait for me."

Lin Zhen could see that Feng Qingluan's aura was beginning to weaken, and knew that she probably didn't have much time left. He didn't dare to delay any longer, and turned around to stand in front of Lanka and Jinnaluo with his spear in hand.

"I have only one request: you must not hurt her before you defeat me."

"Oh! What do you mean?"

Lin Zhen drew a line on the ground with his Long Spear, and elemental energy surged from the spear tip, drawing a large circle with a diameter of ten meters on the ground.

"I'm in this circle, and my woman is right behind me. I, Lin Zhen, wouldn't dare say I'm a pillar of strength, but I will give my all for the one I love. If you can be considered men, then come at me. At least before you defeat me, don't go out of your way to hurt a weak woman who is already on the verge of death."

Jinnaluo and Lanka exchanged a glance, then nodded. "Alright! Lin Zhen, your request is very reasonable. We won't attack Feng Qingluan first, but if you lose, then please ask her to commit suicide!"

"Fine! If I die, my woman shall naturally follow me."

Lin Zhen held the Yin-Yang Long Spear horizontally. This time, he didn't even have any clones left. He was all alone, facing more than three hundred experts from the Landis Empire and the Rakshasa Empire. This would be an unprecedentedly difficult battle.

However, he also breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Feng Qingluan was safe for the time being, that was fine. The radiant circle he drew with elemental energy was the death circle for the martial artists of these two countries!

He touched the Space Ring and put the Starry Sky Crown on his head. This treasure could restore the user's body with powerful holy light energy, and it finally came in handy again today.

A faint fragrance wafted from behind her. Feng Qingluan staggered to Lin Zhen's back and gave him a tight hug.

Lin Zhen turned around, and Feng Qingluan reached out to straighten his clothes, revealing a smile, "So handsome. I've fought with people my whole life, and today I can sit here and watch a man protect me. This feeling... is what a woman feels like."

Lin Zhen smiled and put her back under the Phoenix Tree: "This is a rare opportunity, so you should be a proper little woman and see how men fight."

Feng Qingluan nodded gently, her eyelids seeming somewhat heavy.

Lin Zhen's heart tightened, and she turned around and strode back into the circle of light she had drawn, raising her Long Spear high in her hand!

"Smack!"

"Let's fight!!"

Jinnaluo and Lanka exchanged glances, then simultaneously waved their hands sharply. "Imperial warriors! Kill this arrogant brat who doesn't know his place! Let's go!"

With a single point of their Long Sword, the winds and clouds gathered, and behind them, more than a dozen experts at the Star System Stage swarmed forward!

In their view, even if Lin Zhen's strength was not bad, his realm was still low, only a dozen or so Star System Stage, which was enough to easily kill him!

The dozen or so men rushed up, their faces contorted with rage, and quickly surrounded Lin Zhen!

Since he didn't have to worry about Feng Qingluan, Lin Zhen devoted all his energy to the battle this time.

He used all the marksmanship Spear Art he had learned and mastered since his rebirth in this battle.

Nine Heavy Spears River, Immovable as a Mountain, Phantom God Strike, Star River Domain, Time Acceleration —he uses every trick in the book.

"Boom! Boom!"

Meteor Fall, scattering countless fragments of Meteorite in all directions, and seven or eight martial artists were caught in the blast.

Lin Zhen didn't even look, and unleashed Phantom God Strike!

A scream rang out as three martial artists were pierced through by the Phantom God Strike!

With a single successful move, the Star River Domain appeared!

A series of sharp pains shot through his waist as three Long Sword pierced Lin Zhen's abdomen from different angles, each sword going right through him!

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of Lin Zhen's mouth, and his eyes widened suddenly. "Tianhe Star Burst!"

A violent planetary explosion resounded around Lin Zhen, and the three martial artists who attacked Lin Zhen, plus the two who had just rushed over, all perished in the Starburst!

As the Long Sword was drawn, blood spurted from Lin Zhen's waist, but the Starry Sky Crown above his head continuously emitted beams of holy light, rapidly healing Lin Zhen's injuries!

There are still three of the strongest ones left. Lin Zhen can't win without fighting desperately!

"Armorization!"

Black Scale Armor appeared, and Lin Zhen swung his Yin-Yang Long Spear, sweeping it with all his might, shattering a martial artist to pieces!

"Puff!"

A Long Spear pierced through Lin Zhen's chest, almost grazing his heart. Even when Armorization, the power of Star System Stage expert could not be completely blocked!

Before Lin Zhen could turn around and retaliate, another Star System Stage longsword fell like lightning, severing Lin Zhen's left hand!

These two remaining martial artists are the strongest among these dozen or so people!

Despite having his chest pierced and one arm severed, Lin Zhen showed no fear. He exerted force with his right hand, grabbing the Long Spear warrior behind him to prevent him from escaping. At the same time, he opened his mouth, Gravity Burst!

Dark Star Gravity can be activated without reaching out your hand; it can be activated with a mere thought!

Caught off guard, the longsword-wielding warrior was Gravity Lin Zhen by his gravity. Lin Zhen grabbed the man with one hand and broke off the other, but he still had his mouth, which he used to bite the warrior's throat!

In its Armorization state, the Black Hole Beast is also an incredibly ferocious beast!

The enormous fangs pierced his throat in an instant, biting the martial artist to death!

The Long Spear warrior behind him unleashed elemental energy from his Long Spear, attempting to shred Lin Zhen's internal organs!

But Lin Zhen didn't give him that chance. He suddenly pulled the martial artist over with one arm, letting the Long Spear pierce through his heart, and then killed him with a claw!

"Ugh... Pfft!"

Lin Zhen pulled out the Long Spear that had pierced his body with one arm, and at the same time reattached his left hand, which was only connected by a layer of skin. A white light flashed at the wound, and it had begun to heal rapidly!

Such formidable, beast-like fighting power and vitality left Jinnaluo and the others stunned.

These dozen or so Star System Stage were their handpicked commando team. Even Jinnaluo and Lanka would be difficult for them to deal with. They thought they could easily kill Lin Zhen, but unexpectedly, this kid fought desperately and killed them all.

Jinnaluo looked at the gleaming white crown on Lin Zhen's head and suddenly roared, "He has a recovery-type treasure! We absolutely cannot give him time to rest! Form waves, attack in batches, and absolutely cannot let him recover!"

Several hundred martial artists formed multiple assault teams and charged towards Lin Zhen one after another.

Lin Zhen had not fully recovered when he faced a second wave of opponents. Relying on the Starry Sky Crown's restorative abilities and his own formidable combat power, Lin Zhen withstood the second wave.

Then there will be a third batch, and a fourth batch!

Lin Zhen's body was covered in wounds: broken bones, broken Bone, a disemboweled abdomen, a pierced throat, and at its worst, his head was almost chopped off!

But Lin Zhen has a heart that never gives up. He can avoid damage to the greatest extent possible. As long as he is not turned to ashes or smashed into mud in one blow, he can continue to fight!

Long Spear, Light Fiend! Claws! Teeth! Mental Power!

Lin Zhen's entire body is covered in weapons!

One by one, the warriors rushed over, and one by one they fell down!

These warriors are not the low-level warriors that the Insect Race can supply in unlimited quantities. Each one of them is a Star System Stage expert who has cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years to reach this level.

If you took them to a rudimentary Cosmic Nation, each of them could become an emperor!

Fifty people, one hundred people, one hundred and fifty people, two hundred people!

The circle of light drawn by Lin Zhen was a Land of Death. Once someone entered, they could never leave. And Lin Zhen, that devilish guy, was always just a hair's breadth away from being killed, but he always came back to life!

Jinnaluo, who had been watching from the back, had a gloomy expression. He said to Lanka, "Lanka, we will never be able to kill Lin Zhen completely unless we take off the crown on his head."

"That's right, do you have any good ideas?"

"Of course, but we need your cooperation."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

The two hit it off immediately and, following a group of charging martial artists, headed straight for Lin Zhen!
