Chapter 512: 513: Decisive Battle Out of the Pass (Third Update)

“Everyone, listen up! There must be a result in our war with the Fire Kirin!”

The Mantis Commander stood in front of the crowd, facing the experts from the Landis Empire and Rakshasa Empire.

Jin Naluo asked, “What does your war have to do with us? You don’t want us to get involved in the struggle between nations.”

“No, we don’t ask you to participate in the national struggle. We just hope that you can help us kill a specific person.”

“Oh? Who should we kill? What’s in it for us?” Lanka from Landis asked.

“The person you all have seen before, Feng Qingluan and Lin Zhen on the Suspended Island!”

The Mantis Commander said hatefully, “You have also seen the potential of these two. Leaving them will bring endless troubles for us. Moreover, we won’t ask you for help for nothing. If you help kill them, you can each get fifty billion Cosmic Crystals!”

Jin Naluo and Lanka exchanged glances, both feeling that the plan seemed feasible.

“The price is acceptable, but we must not forget that there are people from the Fire Kirin here, like Ye Hua. If they attack us from behind when we make our move, won’t we be caught between two fires?” Jin Naluo asked.

The Mantis Commander laughed, “You don’t need to worry about that. The people of Fire Kirin won’t affect us. We have ways to deal with them.”

“Is it that simple? Will they fall for it so easily? Don’t they know the importance of Feng Qingluan and Lin Zhen and let us act on it?” Lanka asked one question after another.

“Obviously, it’s not that simple. I can tell you that within the Fire Kirin, there are people who don’t want Feng Qingluan and the others to survive. So this thing is welcomed by everyone, and there won’t be any loopholes.”

Hearing the Mantis Commander’s guarantee, Jin Naluo and Lanka finally set their minds at ease.

It turned out that the matter involved a power struggle within the Fire Kirin. That made it much easier. They only needed to make their move and kill. The only difficulty was that Feng Qingluan’s combat power was somewhat strong. They needed to think carefully about how to succeed without being counter-killed.

But there was no need to worry. With three families united together, no, four families united together, they could think of a foolproof plan, or they could hang themselves.

Inside the Virtual Reality field, a Star System Level 5 virtual opponent was launching a fierce attack on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen had never defeated a Star System Level 5 expert in the Virtual Reality field. His previous best attempt was merely defeating a Level 4 expert.

At Star System Level 5, the Star Power is already over 1,500. Lin Zhen’s Star Power is just over 1,000 after one month of cultivation. The huge power gap is the reason why he cannot defeat Level 5.

But this time, Lin Zhen moved quickly, dodged the opponent’s attack, and seized a gap less than 0.1 seconds to counterattack immediately.

Spatial Slash!

Hundreds of crescent-shaped spatial cuts appeared, each about one meter long, all deadly!

This was Lin Zhen’s first time launching a hundred consecutive cuts. Once this move was launched, the space collapsed, and the back of each space cut dragged a long spatial rift!

“Puff!”

Finally, the Star System Level 5 expert could not dodge Lin Zhen’s spatial slash. His body was struck by several spatial cuts and shattered!

“Huff, huff, huff !!!”

As Lin Zhen left the Virtual Reality field, he was still breathing heavily instinctively.

But his face was full of excitement, as the Spatial Slash was finally successful!

Despite a difference of 600 or 700 points in Star Power, he managed to defeat the opponent with a single Spatial Slash. The power of this move was indeed tremendous! The main drawback was the enormous consumption of Star Power. With his current Star Power level, if he used the Spatial Slash and failed to defeat the opponent, he would only have one way left to flee.

Nevertheless, as a Constant Star Level 9 Martial Artist, to defeat a Star System Level 5 expert, Lin Zhen had already created a miracle!

His realm is now stuck at the Peak of Constant Star Level 9 and can no longer advance.

At this realm, neither Thunder Crystals nor Constant Star Crystals can help him anymore. The next realm is the Black Hole Period, which requires a chance to advance.

“Nearly twelve months have passed, and I should leave the Suspended Island. Otherwise, when the meteorite belt closes, I won’t be able to leave.”-

Lin Zhen opened his eyes; he had already comprehended all the contents of the Boundary Tablet and didn’t need to stay any longer.

As he opened his eyes, the surrounding area was empty. The expected red blaze hadn’t appeared, meaning it had left first.

Lin Zhen felt a bit lost. He had some doubts about Feng Qingluan in his heart.

At the beginning, Feng Qingluan’s massive Star Power helped not only Ye Hua but also himself, allowing him to complete his comprehension before Ye Hua and obtaining first place.

At that time, he had doubts, suspecting Feng Qingluan’s identity.

But now that Feng Qingluan had disappeared without a trace, leaving no news, Lin Zhen thought he was mistaken.

If she were Little Phoenix, she shouldn’t have left so quietly. She would at least say goodbye to him, right?

It seemed that he was wrong; she was not Little Phoenix but the cold and heartless gang leader. Perhaps she had helped him with his Star Power because of his Black Hole Beast’s constitution.

“I don’t know when I’ll be able to return to the Suspended Island, but I’m not quite willing to let it go.”

Looking up at the Spiritual Power Heaven Stele and the Time Monument, these two tablets’ content were what Lin Zhen looked forward to the most. However, due to time constraints, Lin Zhen couldn’t simultaneously comprehend all three.

If he had more time, Lin Zhen would want to stay and continue studying.

With a hint of regret, Lin Zhen left the Suspended Island.

After leaving the Suspended Island, he felt the meteorite belt behind him speeding up.

Glancing back, within the meteorite belt, the Space Storm began to gradually form. The storm, containing various elemental forces and spatial rifts, could tear almost everything apart. No wonder there were only broken meteorites within a hundred miles, with no large stones remaining.

Such a dense storm made it almost impossible for anyone to survive safely here.

“I estimate that the storm inside the Suspended Island might not be as strong as the outside one. If I could, I’d love to go back and see.”

Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment, looking at the endless Space Storm and finally giving up on the tempting idea.

It’s better to go and fight as soon as possible and strive to win first place in this concentration camp!

But before that, Lin Zhen must first return to the garbage disposal plant once. He needed to plant this Wutong tree first; maybe one day, when Little Phoenix returns, she would have a place to stay.

Looking at the starry sky ahead, Planetary Instantaneous Movement!

After an instant movement, Lin Zhen’s body appeared 50,000 kilometers away!

Lin Zhen had completely mastered the method of Planetary Instantaneous Movement. As long as his Star Power increased steadily, he would eventually be able to teleport directly from this planet to another within his sight.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

With unparalleled speed, Lin Zhen disappeared into the starry sky.

Just when the Fire Kirin people thought that the Empire’s martial artists would lose disastrously in the battle, an unexpected counterattack occurred in the Chaotic Star River.

In December, Ye Hua led several Star System Term experts, ambushing a group of Insect Clan troops, killing four of the opposing Star System Term, and tens of thousands of Locust Clan warriors.

In January of the following year, Feng Qingluan single-handedly broke into the Centipede Commander’s nest. Using the advanced Skyfire Flame, she burned the Centipede Clan Nest, killing hundreds of thousands of warriors inside while the Centipede Commander was seriously injured and escaped.

In February, Feng Qingluan once again entered the Spider Commander’s nest. With the Spider Commander already dead and the warriors unable to resist Feng Qingluan’s attack, nearly all of the hundreds of thousands of spider fighters were wiped out, and the spider’s nest was destroyed.

In March, Ye Hua joined forces with Nan Lie, engaging in a fierce battle with the Locust Commander. Although they still did not kill the Locust Commander, they destroyed the Locust Clan Nest, killing tens of thousands of their warriors. Their kill count soared, but they were no longer in first or second place. Feng Qingluan had taken the first place.

So far, three of the seven Insect Clan Nests in the Chaotic Star River had been lost, significantly reducing their ability to create warriors. Life for the Fire Kirin martial artists wasn’t as difficult anymore.

At the end of March, Lin Zhen encountered the fleeing Centipede Commander on a planet. After an intense battle, Lin Zhen managed to kill the Centipede Commander.

The Insect Clan lost not only three major nests but also two Commanders in succession.

This series of battles made the Fire Kirin people see the dawn of victory once again. In particular, Feng Qingluan’s extraordinary achievements were breathtaking. Some even said that the Empire’s top genius should be replaced.

In April, Ye Hua informed the Fire Kirin martial artists within the Chaotic Star River that they would organize a major counteroffensive.

The target of this counteroffensive would be the Scorpion Commander’s nest, as they received news that the injured Locust Commander had fled to the Scorpion Commander’s territory. If they could destroy the Scorpion Nest, they might be able to eliminate both the Scorpion and Locust Commanders at once.

If they achieved this goal, four of the seven Insect Clan Commanders would be gone, along with four nests. They would have won more than half of the Chaotic Star River battle.

Ye Hua even announced this news on the Dimensional Universe, and it was impossible for any martial artist of the Fire Kirin to refuse such a proposal.

Any refusals would undoubtedly lead to being mocked by people throughout the Empire, no matter what achievements they’d made. The label of being unconcerned with the bigger picture would be firmly attached, with no chance of redemption.

All the martial artists responded, including Feng Qingluan and Lin Zhen, who agreed to arrive at the Scorpion Commander’s nest within ten days for a major battle.

This battle would be crucial in determining the outcome of the Chaotic Star River war!
