Explode! Lin Zhen!
Lin Zhen's expression immediately turned cold as he left the Dimensional Universe.
Ye Hua and his master really didn't give him any way out. They actually came up with such a way to deal with him. In this way, not only would they be able to explain to the people, but they would also leave him with the impression that he was reckless, didn't know what was good for him, and deserved to die.
One can imagine that if one goes out, one will be subjected to inhuman humiliation by the Insect Race. If one cannot endure it, then it is one's own problem, not the problem of John and the other rescuers.
The Empire has already paid a huge price for you, and you still stubbornly fight the Insect Race. You deserve to die!
"What a perfect solution! It's all thanks to me recording what you just said, John. You probably never imagined that my Mental Power has become strong enough to shatter your consciousness in a short time!"
John's Mental Power was at the mid-stage of the Azure Sky-color, which was as far away as heaven and earth compared to Lin Zhen's early-stage Emerald Radiance. Just a moment ago, within that Dimensional Universe, he had been briefly controlled by Lin Zhen's Soul Lock.
The main problem was that he was caught off guard and didn't expect Lin Zhen to be so strong. He fell into her trap without even realizing it. Lin Zhen controlled him and then immediately gave up. He himself had no memory of this part of the story.
After the video was saved, a new video immediately appeared in the Dimensional Universe.
This video was released by John.
In the video, John passionately proclaims, "My fellow countrymen of the Fire Kirin Empire, I know you are all concerned about Lin Zhen's fate, worried that he might be harmed by the Insect Race. But rest assured, through our tireless efforts, we have finally reached a temporary agreement with the Insect Race, and they have agreed to release Lin Zhen!"
The comments section below the video was filled with cheers. In fact, everyone knew that it was unrealistic to forcibly rescue Lin Zhen under the heavy encirclement of the Insect Race. After all, even the World King Domain could not enter the Chaotic Star River, and the Fire Qilin was useless even with its experts.
Being able to reach an agreement with the Insect Race, pay some price, and rescue Lin Zhen is already very good and worthwhile, after all, it's good that their hero can go home.
The comments section was flooded with messages praising the rescue team and the empire, but there were relatively fewer people Lin Zhen, since they believed that Lin Zhen was already safe.
John read the comments for a while and smiled with satisfaction, "Thank you for your understanding and support. We have done a lot and encountered many difficulties in rescuing Lin Zhen, but that is not important. What is important is that Lin Zhen is safe. I believe that in a little while, everyone will be able to see Lin Zhen come out on the broadcast."
As he spoke, the camera panned out to the vast starry sky.
The surrounding area was Insect Race, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.
However, this also proves that what John said was true. The fact that they were able to penetrate deep into the Insect Race territory without being attacked by the Insect Race proves that an agreement has been reached between the two sides, and it seems that Lin Zhen is safe.
People also saw the seemingly endless passage leading into the depths of the Suspended Island.
On both sides of the passage, the Insect Race were lined up in dense rows, as if in a show of defiance, but not as if they were about to attack.
According to John, Lin Zhen would come out from here in a little while.
John continued, "The Insect Race sacrificed billions of warriors to kill Lin Zhen, and they are still resentful. They might do some impolite things to vent their anger, so everyone should be prepared. The most important thing is that Lin Zhen can come back."
Most people expressed their support, saying that in this situation, being able to come back alive is already an incredible stroke of luck, so what's the point of talking about dignity?
*********
Deep within the Suspended Island, Lin Zhen straightened his clothes and watched as the Insect Race opened up the passage.
The last Meteorite was stopped by the impact of two Zerg Insect Race, whose flesh and blood were used to unleash Star Power, and a huge passage appeared, like a spatial tunnel.
Buzz buzz buzz~!
A large swarm of Mantis Warrior rushed out of the tunnel, most of them being Black Hole Stage, with a few Star System Stage warriors leading the way.
The Mantis Clan are the most powerful fighting race among the Insect Race, and this unit is clearly the most elite of the Mantis Clan.
Ten thousand!
Ten thousand elite Mantis Warrior charged out, and then a person stepped out from the middle.
The newly appointed commander of the Insect Race, the Locust Commander.
The Locust Commander's strength has reached the Level Three Peak of the star system. Although it is not as good as the commander back then, it is still quite good.
The Locust Commander walked up to Lin Zhen and looked Lin Zhen up and down a few times.
"Giggle~! Lin Zhen, long time no see."
"Have we met before?" Lin Zhen stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the Locust Commander.
"Hehe, you probably don't know, but the leadership of our Insect Race is passed down. When I succeeded as the new Locust Commander, I also inherited the memories of the previous Locust Commander. His memories told me about you, so you can think of me as the Locust Commander from back then."
"Oh! So you're an old acquaintance."
"You could say that, Lin Zhen, I must say that you and Feng Qingluan have caused our Insect Race a great deal of harm. Of the seven commanders, only Lord Mantis managed to escape. This is a loss our Insect Race have never experienced before in the Chaotic Star River. Do you know how much damage you have caused us?"
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Since it's a war, let's not talk about losses. If you're afraid of losses, you might as well go home and take care of your children, or just obediently admit defeat."
"Oh my! You still dare to be arrogant? Didn't John tell you? Remember, you're just a dog now, a dog that we Insect Race can slaughter at will! John paid a sum of money to buy your dog's life, but before this dog leaves, it must be at the mercy of us Insect Race."
As he spoke, the Locust Commander pointed to the passage behind him, "This road is the Death Passage that we, with billions of warriors sacrificed, opened up. Lin Zhen, if you can walk out of here today and survive, we will let you go. Along the way, every one of our warriors will launch a non-lethal attack on you. You cannot fight back; you can only endure it. If you survive, you'll be lucky. If you die, consider it an offering to the spirits of our Insect Race warriors in heaven!"
Lin Zhen glanced at the bloody tunnel, then turned his gaze to the Locust Commander. "Do I have any other Xuan Ze?"
"Other Xuan Ze? Heh heh! There are, and that's for you to fight your way out of here all by yourself, Lin Zhen. I'm not kidding, but if you had that ability, your empire wouldn't have had to go to such lengths, paying compensation and apologizing to rescue you. Don't think you're so great just because you've advanced to the Black Hole Stage. Back then, you were able to oppose our Insect Race only because of that woman, Feng Qingluan, right? You're just a bystander, yet you really think you're someone special! Bah!"
After the Locust Commander finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and shouted, "Children! Prepare your greeting gifts! Give Lin Zhen a good beating! Gouge out his nose, ears, and eyes! Tear out his intestines and internal organs! Eat him! Those who are in line will drink a mouthful of his blood and eat a bite of his flesh. Let's see how he gets out of this 100,000-kilometer passage!"
"Roar~!!"
The Insect Race warriors shouted in unison, their voices deafening, and each of them revealed a ferocious expression. Anyone with a weak heart would probably be terrified by now.
" With the Dimensional Universe open, let that Tian Ci broadcast this to me. I want the Fire Qilin people to see the price of offending our Insect Race, hahaha!"
The Dimensional Universe began recording, waiting for Lin Zhen to enter the flesh and blood passage.
The Locust Commander was at the top of the flesh and blood tunnel, his fangs bared as he rubbed them together, waiting for Lin Zhen's arrival.
People far away in the Fire Qilin could clearly see this scene. They saw that Lin Zhen had arrived in front of the passage and they were all secretly praying that Lin Zhen could pass through smoothly, and that he should endure the torment.
Lin Zhen walked to the front of the passage with his hands behind his back and slightly moved his wrists.
"Originally, I planned to fight my way out, but now it seems like going out this way isn't a bad idea either."
After saying that, Lin Zhen stepped into the passageway.
"Lin Zhen, don't be reckless! Feed me your first piece of flesh first!"
The Locust Commander let out a howl and immediately pounced on Lin Zhen!
The burst of Star Power was astonishing, leaving those watching the video in awe.
"Lin Zhen, you must hold on! A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!"
"Lin Zhen, hang in there! Technology is so advanced now. As long as your soul is still intact and your heart and brain haven't been eaten, you have a chance to come back to life!"
Netizens left numerous comments, but what happened next almost made everyone's eyes pop out!
Lin Zhen suddenly Ling Kong his hand and grabbed the neck of the Locust Commander was swooping down!
Squeak! Squeak!
"Well!!"
The Locust Commander was immediately squeezed until his eyes rolled back, and he tried to pry his way out of the air, but he couldn't break free from Lin Zhen's grip at all.
Seeing this, netizens were completely dumbfounded.
"Lin Zhen has gone mad!"
"Lin Zhen, don't let John and the others down. You might feel good killing one bug now, but there are billions of Insect Race here. Can you kill them all? Let go!"
"It's all over! It's not the god-like opponents we fear, but the pig-like teammates. John and the others' efforts have all been in vain."
"Don't try to save them, they're beyond saving. John and the others should run, the Insect Race are about to turn on us."
A flood of comments followed, all agreeing that Lin Zhen's actions were extremely irrational.
"Lin Zhen, you fucking insane! Don't you... don't you want to go back intact? Let go of me right now!"
Thanks to the Insect Race' tenacious vitality, the Locust Commander was also able to make sounds from inside his abdominal cavity, loudly threatening Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen sneered, "Who said I don't want to go back? Of course I want to go back, but I won't accept this humiliating way. I, Lin Zhen, was born to stand tall and upright. Even the sky, the earth, and the universe cannot suppress me, let alone you little Insect Race clowns, you're not even as good as dogs. How dare you bark so arrogantly in front of me? It's utterly laughable!"
A faint starlight began to emanate from his body, and Lin Zhen suddenly exerted force with one hand!
Click!
Lin Zhen immediately crushed the Locust Commander's neck, and his head exploded like a watermelon, killing him instantly!
This single act completely severed any possibility of peace talks!
Buzz!
The Yin-Yang Long Spear appeared in his hand, accompanied by a roar of dragons and tigers. Lin Zhen looked up to the sky and roared, "What kind of bullshit tactics are these? You disgusting insects! Qingluan didn't wipe you out back then, yet you dare to show yourselves in front of me again! Today, I will exterminate you all in the Chaotic Star River!"
"Die! Kill!"
This is the third chapter today. I'm adding an extra chapter to reach 500 monthly votes. Sigh! The monthly votes have actually reached 700. If I hadn't been busy the day before yesterday, I would have already paid them off. It looks like it will probably take another two days to clear the debt.
