Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Intercept and Kill

Translator: 549690339

There was a lot of information on the internet, and Lin Zhen quickly found some clues.

Chen Jingchou was quite unconventional, acting more like a lone ranger, but he was indeed powerful, because he was also a Spiritual Mind Master!

Among the new generation in Ice City, Lin Zhen only knew of three Spiritual Mind Masters.

One was himself, one was Ding Ning, and the other was Chen Jingchou.

Of course, the spiritual power of the other two people could not be compared with Lin Zhen at the moment, but they could still support themselves for training in the not-so-dangerous Wilderness Area.

Based on some clues, Lin Zhen confirmed Chen Jingchou’s whereabouts.

He had gone south, passing through Oil City, to the former Changchun area.

Lin Zhen saw a post by a martial artist from Changfeng, who said that once Chen Jingchou returned the day after tomorrow, he would show those Russians who’s boss.

That is to say, Chen Jingchou would be coming back soon. He should still pass through Oil City, and the time should be between tomorrow night and the next morning.

Lin Zhen had carefully considered the assassination of Chen Jingchou. He was confident in killing Chen Jingchou, but the subsequent risks were not small.

As the top youth of Changfeng and a Spiritual Mind Master, Chen Jingchou could be considered the future of the martial arts school. Changfeng’s leader, Qin Yunfei, attached great importance to him and even trained him as a successor. If he were killed, Changfeng would never let it go.

But Lin Zhen thought it was worth it. If they didn’t kill Chen Jingchou, it would have too much impact on the future, even if it meant being an enemy of Changfeng.

Lin Zhen closed the internet and prepared to head towards Oil City.

Just then, the mobile phone text message prompt showed that 10 million had been credited to his account.

The first volume of the Nine Layers Spear River secret book had been sold.

Lin Zhen smiled slightly, as he had already instructed his parents on how to deliver the item. The bestselling Nine Layers Spear River book was expected.

And he also announced on the online store that the fourth layer of Nine Layers Spear River would be sold soon, so please look forward to it.

He believed that the person holding the first and fourth layers would soon become restless, and the fourth layer of Nine Layers Spear River would soon be on the market.

Putting away his phone, Lin Zhen greeted his parents and then left the Jiangbei Villa area, driving out of Ice City, heading straight for the south gate of Ice City.

As he passed the river bridge, he saw two women arguing by the side of the road.

These two women were none other than Li Mengxi and Ruoruo.

These two survivors of the Demon God incident were lucky enough to have escaped from Yi Lan, but judging by their emotional appearance, Ruoruo pulling Li Mengxi and shouting something, Li Mengxi with a red face explaining, it seemed they were both quite unhappy.

Lin Zhen sneered and drove past them without looking back.

Lin Zhen knew why they were arguing. Considering the well-wrapped appearance of Ruoruo, it was obvious that they had had a hard time. Bai Feng, a War God Level expert, was secretly attacked and would certainly not let it go. He would definitely find out who took the Dark Energy Stone.

After just a little investigation, it would naturally lead to Ruoruo and Li Mengxi since they were the only two female warriors who entered Yi Lan at that time.

Li Mengxi, after the investigation, would surely have no suspicion, so the only suspect would be Ruoruo. Bai Feng probably still hasn’t found Ruoruo yet, but Ruoruo can’t hide forever.

Once Bai Feng found Ruoruo, the truth would slowly come to light, because Ruoruo had not taken the Dark Energy Stone either.

By then, all the warriors who were still in Yi Lan at that time would be listed as suspects, and Lin Zhen would undoubtedly be one of them.

Bai Feng would definitely investigate all of them, and Lin Zhen could not be careless. He had to seize every opportunity to strengthen himself for the crisis that might come in the future.

The car exited Ice City Base City and headed southeast towards Oil City.

As Lin Zhen’s car was about to disappear from the end of the road, Li Mengxi suddenly looked back, watching his car for a moment, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

There are about two hundred kilometers between Oil City and Ice City, and the road conditions were originally quite good. However, a few years ago, Oil City experienced a monster attack, resulting in severe damage to the road, which became bumpy and difficult to drive on, and there has been no opportunity to repair it in the years since.

Lin Zhen drove for more than four hours before finally arriving at Oil City around midnight.

He stayed at a hotel in Oil City for the night and left towards the south the next morning.

If Chen Jingchou were to return from this direction, he would have to pass through a supply station to the south. Lin Zhen planned to intercept him there.

Oil City’s supply station is the last human gathering area to the south, and further south, only the southwest direction leads to Capital Base City, but that is thousands of kilometers away. Within these thousands of kilometers lies a paradise for monsters.

By the time Lin Zhen arrived at the supply station, it was already afternoon. He did not enter the station but continued driving south for another twenty kilometers, coming to the end of the road.

Ahead lay a river, a natural boundary that land-dwelling monsters rarely approach. Lin Zhen believed that if Chen Jingchou were to return, he would have to pass through here.

He parked his car and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket.

The cigarettes were called Seven Nights, said to commemorate the once-greatest martial artist, Yan Qiyue. Yan Qiyue was a national hero who contributed significantly to the establishment of Ice City Base City.

Yan Qiyue disappeared three hundred years ago. Some say he has died, but many believe he is still alive, as he had already reached the War God Peak when he vanished.

In commemoration of Yan Qiyue, these Seven Nights cigarettes were released, causing some controversy at the time. Some argued that it was disrespectful to the hero to consume something bearing his name.

Nevertheless, the cigarettes persisted. Lin Zhen did not usually smoke, but he would have one when he was particularly bored.

He smoked and rested, waiting patiently, and as night approached, someone finally arrived.

Across the riverbridge, the headlights of a car appeared, rumbling towards Lin Zhen.

The vehicle was a modified Hummer – Chen Jingchou’s car.

Lin Zhen took out his Black Dragon Spear and stood beside his vehicle, waiting for Chen Jingchou’s arrival.

When the car stopped next to Lin Zhen, Chen Jingchou got out.

As a martial artist, Lin Zhen radiated a formidable aura of battle. Chen Jingchou, of course, knew he could not continue forward. Moreover, he was quite confident in his abilities. As a Warrior Level fighter, he was convinced that he did not need to fear anyone.

Chen Jingchou’s weapon was a pair of blades. Upon getting out of his car, he recognized Lin Zhen almost immediately, as Lin Zhen was quite famous among Warrior Level fighters.

“Lin Zhen, we have no grudges or grievances. Why is this happening?” Chen Jingchou did not waste any time and went straight to the point.

Lin Zhen looked at Chen Jingchou coldly: “Because one genius warrior in Ice

City is enough.”

“Very well. By saying that, it seems you and I are similar. I’ve thought the same, though I have not acted as decisively as you. The fact that you could come all the way here from Ice City is impressive, and it seems that only one of us can return alive. ‘

Chen Jingchou drew his blades and assumed a fighting stance.

Lin Zhen shook the Black Dragon Spear in his hand: “Indeed, only one person can return alive, but that person will definitely not be you.”

“Arrogant!”

Chen Jingchou’s blades spun in his hands, and the next moment, he unleashed a fierce attack!

His strike was furious, and he was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Zhen’s ambush. He didn’t hold back his attack, his blades conjuring wind and clouds, their destructive power immense.

Lin Zhen’s eyes were cold as well. This Chen Jingchou—whether it was because of past resentments or current necessity—he must kill!

His spear trembled, clashing with the blade’s air, creating a series of sparks in the night.. In the desolate winter night, the two began their deadly battle!
