So You Were the Little Brother All Along

In front of Tian Fang, Lin Zhen's Star Power had dimmed considerably.

The same applies to Tian Fang; both of them possessed identical Star Power, but after a month of depletion, less than one-tenth of their original power remained.

The two were like candle flames in Gale. Although there was a protective shield around them, the shield was beginning to break down, and the flames could be blown out by the Gale at any moment.

On Uranus that resembles a living hell, the complete depletion of Star Power is tantamount to death.

Under normal circumstances, Tian Fang might not have stayed to fight.

But things are different now. Killing Lin Zhen so important, especially since he and Lin Zhen had sworn an oath to each other with Heart of Martial Arts. Whoever leaves will never make any progress.

He couldn't take that risk, especially since Lin Zhen seemed even worse than him. If he put in a little more effort, he might win.

Releasing the last of his Star Power to resist the chill that had already invaded his body, Tian Fang launched another attack.

Two people, teetering on the brink of collapse, continue their desperate fight.

Their last bit of strength was quickly depleted, and three days later, the two figures separated as they fell to the ground!

Lin Zhen was stabbed more than a dozen times, and Tian Fang also had several bloody holes.

Both of their Star Power became extremely weak, no longer enough to block the cold wind. The biting wind, snow and bitter cold once again enveloped this area.

Tian Fang King struggled to sit up, his Star Power flickering on and off.

His uncertain gaze fell upon Lin Zhen.

"Lin Zhen! You're dead! Although our Star Power is the same, your understanding and application of power is still inferior to mine. In the past month or so, your total Star Power consumption has exceeded mine. I can still move in the cold wind and stand in front of you to raise my knife. But what about you? If you use even a little Star Power, you'll probably run out of protective Star Power and be frozen into a zombie!"

Growing increasingly smug, the Tian Fang King laughed heartily, "Boy! You may think you're a genius, but being a genius alone isn't enough. A person also needs a brain, otherwise your grudges and resentments will only be settled in your next life—assuming you even have a next life to live!"

As he spoke, the Tian Fang King stood up unsteadily, using his long sword to support himself on the ground, and walked unsteadily toward Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen lay on the ground, his blood freezing into frost as soon as it flowed out, but his gaze was fixed on the Tian Fang, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery.

"Tian Fang, do you believe that only Star Power can withstand the cold of Uranus?"

Tian Fang was taken aback.

"Wrong! Besides Star Power, flames can also withstand the cold wind!"

Boom!

Suddenly, a ball of deep blue flame erupted from Lin Zhen's body. The powerful fire instantly melted the surrounding frost, and the severe cold outside was immediately neutralized by Lin Zhen's fire, leaving him unaffected by the cold.

Standing up, Long Spear in hand, Lin Zhen, with his back to the wind, looked at Tian Fang, who was facing the headwind. "Tian Fang, now I can stand up too. If you have any skills, then use them. You only have a tiny bit more Star Power than me, while I have firepower to support me and don't need to consume Star Power. Let's see who can last the longest!"

The Tian Fang King stood still, his expression constantly changing, a truly fascinating sight.

His expression seemed to want to roar, yet also seemed to want to laugh; it looked very strange.

Finally, Tian Fang suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahaha~! Hahahaha~!!"

"Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen, your wicked scheme succeeded, didn't it? But you would never guess how laughable and utterly insignificant your scheme seems to me!"

After saying that, Tian Fang suddenly became serious. "You think you're the only one with the power of fire? I'll teach you a lesson today so you'll remember never to underestimate a Domain King level expert. I've been watching you for a long time, do you think I don't know you possess the power of fire? I never underestimate any enemy, no matter who they are, let alone the enemy who killed my son?"

Tian Fang walked step by step toward Lin Zhen, and suddenly a fiery power rose from his body.

That was a light blue Flame Power. Although it wasn't as strong Lin Zhen's, it was enough to block the cold wind.

"Lin Zhen, I also have a good understanding of the power of fire. When you asked me to swear an oath here to fight to the death, I thought of your trajectory."

"We are evenly matched, and the Thousand Day War. You must have been thinking about how to wear each other down until the end, since you still had the power of fire to resist the cold. But winter has come to this planet, and without fire, I would naturally have to surrender."

"Hahaha! Too bad you never expected it, I also possess the power of fire, but I've never shown it off in front of others. It's my secret. Lin Zhen, remember this: everyone should have some trump cards up their sleeves and only use them when it matters most, so that you can turn the tide in one fell swoop."

Lin Zhen's face gradually turned pale; she hadn't expected Tian Fang to be so cunning.

"You're finished! You're out of options now! Hahaha! Lin Zhen, don't try to attack me with your flames. Here, your flames can only protect you. It's all cold here, your flames are useless."

"Oh, by the way! Are you proficient in lightning? Earth? Wood? Or the power of light?"

"If you're an expert, I advise you not to embarrass yourself by showing off, because I know all of these things too!"

With a wave of his hand, the Tian Fang King sent several Energy Element flashing by, but they quickly vanished under the onslaught of the chilling aura.

"See that? This is the domain of ice and Water Element. Other elements can't handle it, Lin Zhen. So in the end, what decides the outcome is still true combat strength. My current Star Power is slightly higher than yours, which is enough to decide life and death!"

With that, the Tian Fang King strode towards Lin Zhen. It was time to end the battle!

In his view, Lin Zhen's Ketu all within his expectations. The reason he agreed was simply to turn the tables on her. This Little Fox, Lin Zhen, wanted to scheme against him, but ended up being schemed against by him instead.

After walking a few steps forward, a horrifying scene unfolded.

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and a wisp of water vapor rose from his palm, turning into an ice ball in less than a second.

"That's... that's Water Element?"

Tian Fang was stunned, and said incredulously, "How can you possess both Fire Element and Water Element at the same time?"

"You don't need to figure this out. Existence speaks for itself. Tian Fang, let me teach you one last lesson: never stand downwind, because besides the element of ice and water, the Wind Element is also abundant here!"

"Die!"

Lin Zhen suddenly roared and raised his hand, sending thousands of water vapors into the air, instantly transforming into ice arrows that shot wildly towards the Tian Fang under the Gale wind!

"Puff puff puff puff puff~!"

Under the fierce hurricane, these ice arrows were a hundred times faster than Sniper Rifle, like missiles, blasting fiercely at the Tian Fang King.

Normally, Tian Fang would have been able to extinguish these ice arrows with a mere breath, but now, with his strength less than one percent of his peak, he could no longer sustain the attack.

At first, he was able to wield his longsword to cut the ice arrows, but the remaining Star Power was quickly depleted.

He had no chance of winning this battle.

A direct attack won't work, Teleport won't work either, because Lin Zhen's Mental Power is stronger than his and can interrupt his Teleport!

The pitiful King of Tian Fang was like a sitting duck, struggling to withstand the bombardment of countless ice arrows.

"After what seemed like thousands or tens of thousands of ice arrows, finally one stubbornly broke through Tian Fang's defenses and pierced his body!"

A column of blood solidified in the air into red beads, which tinkled and fell onto the ice beneath their feet.

"Uh~!"

"Puff puff puff puff puff~~~!!"

It was as if machine gun bullets were hitting him, and bloody holes appeared out of thin air, instantly turning Tian Fang King's body into a thousand wounds.

After the last ice arrow was fired, Lin Zhen felt a bit dazed.

The consumption is simply too great.

However, it was all worth it. The Tian Fang King on the other side was like a hedgehog, covered in ice arrows. Every acupoint and every blood vessel in his body was frozen.

A cold wind swept by, and his cells had stopped dividing; all vitality was rapidly disappearing in the cold wind.

Using the power of the flames to sustain himself, Lin Zhen slowly made his way to Tian Fang.

The opponent's last bit of Star Power fueled his unwilling will, sustaining his last breath, but all he could do was attack Lin Zhen with his eyes.

Completely ignoring the venomous look in the other's eyes, Lin Zhen stood in front of him. "Tian Fang, never overestimate your own wisdom. You may think that because you have lived for nearly a thousand years longer than me, you can see things much more clearly than I can, but you probably don't believe it. In reality, compared to me, you are just a little brother."

Tian Fang King's eyelids twitched, but he didn't understand Lin Zhen's meaning.

"You don't understand, do you? Haha! You don't need to understand too much. I've looked into your background. You should be 1,120 years old this year, but you don't know, I've already lived for over 1,130 years!"

Lin Zhen was right. He lived for a thousand years before his rebirth, and he has lived for more than one hundred and thirty years after his rebirth.

So strictly speaking, he was more than ten years older than the Tian Fang King.

Tian Fang King still didn't understand. He could tell that what Lin Zhen said at the end was true, but he just couldn't believe that Lin Zhen could be older than him.

Before he could figure it out, a wave of intense fatigue washed over him, and all his life's ambitions and aspirations vanished with that weariness.

With eyes closed, endless darkness descends. Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, the King of Tian Fang, dies on Uranus.

A ball of flame covered it, and the lifeless Tian Fang King vanished completely.
