Chapter 556: Chapter 557: Double Battle Evil Star (Third Update)

The second battle of a million people in the Dimensional Arena arrived ten days later.

People in the arena thought that this time Xuan Jiang would definitely hit Lin Zhen hard in the face to avenge the previous ambush.

But unexpectedly, the result of the battle was almost identical to the last time; at the beginning, neither Lin Zhen nor Xuan Jiang confronted each other, instead trying to kill ordinary martial artists as much as possible.

It wasn’t until the end of the battle that the two gods had the opportunity to face each other directly.

But this time, Lin Zhen’s red team had many more people left than the black team. At the last moment, Lin Zhen instigated a large number of martial artists to surround and kill Xuan Jiang, who was brave enough to kill thousands of people in succession. But in the end, Lin Zhen managed to ambush Xuan Jiang successfully among the chaotic army.

As a result, there was another round of cursing in the Dimensional Universe, saying that Lin Zhen was not a fair winner in the end; he bullied the fewer with more people, and that Lin Zhen ambushed Xuan Jiang who was fighting against more than two thousand people. Winning wasn’t glorious at all.

Lin Zhen didn’t care. His strategy was to kill as many people as possible before confronting Xuan Jiang, and then find an opportunity to kill Xuan Jiang at the end, so as to maximize benefits.

This time, Lin Zhen’s harvest was even greater than the last, obtaining 1,200 billion Cosmic Crystals.

At this point, Lin Zhen’s total assets had reached 4,500 billion Cosmic Crystals. If he could get another 500 billion, he could buy a Fire Crystalstone core again.

“Master, Wu Gui asked me to hand in the spoils of this arena competition at his residence.”

Xuan Jiang reported to Lin Zhen in the Dimensional Universe. It was the second time the two had cooperated to make money. The first time Xuan Jiang had handed over his share to Wu Gui through the dimensional universe.

“He wants you to go to his residence?”

“Yes. Before, I didn’t need to do this at all, as long as I handed over 80%. But this time… I think it’s a bit fishy.”

“How much money do you have now?”

“After the death of the arena, I still have 420 billion left.”

“Listen to me, tell Wu Gui you’ll be there soon, then transfer all the money to me, and immediately cut off communication. Only keep in touch with me, leave on a spaceship and go as far as you can… No, come to the Tianhe Empire, come to my hometown, the Solar System. Help me guard my home here, and don’t go to Wu Gui’s place or return.”

“I understand, I’ll leave now.”

Once the 420 billion Cosmic Crystals came in, Lin Zhen’s assets had reached 4,920 billion, only 80 billion away from his final goal.

He estimated that Wu Gui must have noticed something about Xuan Jiang. If Xuan Jiang went there, he might encounter danger. Lin Zhen didn’t want such a thing to happen.

Though he let Xuan Jiang leave, Lin Zhen knew that the direct confrontation with Wu Gui and the others was imminent.

“I must get more money as soon as possible, buy the Fire Crystalstone core, and avoid future complications.”

While Xuan Jiang bought some time on the other end, Lin Zhen re-entered the arena and started a new round of sweeping.

As long as the individual competition amount exceeded one billion, Lin Zhen would knock them down and quickly accumulate wealth.

********

At the same time, in a city within the Fire Kirin Empire, 4 million kilometers away from Lin Zhen, Wu Gui was talking to someone in a flying villa.

“Wu Gui, is everything you said true?” Across from Wu Gui, a young man with colorful fluffy hair and a soft demeanor couldn’t believe it.

“Ying Huo, when have I ever joked with you? This matter is absolutely true, Xuan Jiang has definitely been controlled by Lin Zhen. Just now, I asked him to come here to hand over the Cosmic Crystals, but he actually ran away after agreeing. I can’t even contact him now.”

Wu Gui quickly told Ying Huo what Ye Hua had told him, and Ying Huo, not being a fool, guessed almost the whole story after a little thought.

“Lin Zhen! I really underestimated him. If I had known, I would have killed him directly to avoid such big trouble.”

“I feel like Lin Zhen seems to be in a hurry to use the money. After Xuan Jiang left, he actually started making money like crazy in the arena. Ying Huo, do you think we should go and stop him?”

“Of course, we need to say this? He dares to control Xuan Jiang, so he should be prepared to face the consequences. Let’s go over there and get rid of him!”

Wu Gui and Ying Huo boarded the spaceship and headed straight for Lin Zhen.

Four million kilometers is just a three- to five-minute flight. When Wu Gui discovered that Xuan Jiang had run away, he immediately prepared to assassinate Lin Zhen.

********

After playing a few rounds and earning less than 30 billion, Lin Zhen began to feel uneasy.

Looking up at the window, he found that the sky above the Kirin Holy Star was overcast, as if clouds were quickly approaching from the distance.

A sense of oppression enveloped his heart.

“No, I can’t stay here any longer. Now that the Mixed World King isn’t around, staying here might be dangerous.”

Lin Zhen was also a decisive person; after making the decision, he left immediately, instantaneously moved to the Tianhuo shop, took everything away, and then his incarnation sneaked into the Dark Star Space.

As soon as he had done all this, and before Lin Zhen could even use the Planetary Instantaneous Movement to leave, two huge pressures descended from the sky!

“Lin Zhen, don’t go!”

“Give up your life!”

A figure broke through the roof, with white pupils and no black irises. It was one of the Seven Evil Stars in the battle arena, the Five Ghosts!

Lin Zhen immediately activated his armorization, transferring his star power, and shook the Yin-Yang Spear in his hand, defending against the attack of the Five Ghosts!

A mushroom cloud rose in the Tianfire Workshop, which was capable of forging lower-grade Heavenly Tools. The shop was instantly leveled and even the surrounding area for hundreds of meters turned into a huge crater.

Lin Zhen’s body sank dozens of meters down. The Five Ghosts’ attack obviously focused at one point with great power. Lin Zhen could hardly withstand it!

“Damn it! His star power is too strong, definitely over 15,000!”

Although the Five Ghosts’ star power was stronger than Lin Zhen’s, the difference wasn’t too much. After these days of cultivation, the power of the Heart of Star Plants had increased, and Lin Zhen’s star power had also improved, reaching nearly 13,900, which was close to 14,000.

The gap between 14,000 and just over 15,000 wasn’t too significant. So, although the Five Ghosts had an advantage over Lin Zhen, they didn’t have the ability to overwhelm him!

Lin Zhen leaped out of the deep pit, unafraid of the impact due to his armorization. He burst forth with star power and charged at the Five Ghosts once again.

“What an arrogant kid!”

A gloomy voice sounded, and a delicate man appeared beside them. His first move was a dazzling burst of light, making it difficult to see anything.

Lin Zhen swung his spear and engaged in lightning-fast combat with the man. Suddenly, the Five Ghosts attacked again from the side, swinging their long sword with great force!

Lin Zhen blocked the Five Ghosts’ attack with his spear, but was suddenly hit in the abdomen by a fierce punch from the delicate man!

Lin Zhen stepped back and the two opponents followed closely, intertwining.

“Damn it, the person who came with the Five Ghosts also has star power not inferior to his. This must be Ying Huo.”

Two of the Seven Evil Stars from the battle arena were attacking Lin Zhen together. Lin Zhen was somewhat flattered. It seemed that these two wanted to capture him in one go, without leaving any chance for escape.

If he faced only one, Lin Zhen still had the confidence to fight for a while. He might not be able to win, but he certainly wouldn’t be utterly defeated. However, against two strong opponents with over 15,000 star power, Lin Zhen couldn’t hold on anymore.

The cooperation of the Five Ghosts and Xuan Jiang was incredibly harmonious. One on the left, the other on the right, attacking at the perfect timing without giving Lin Zhen any opportunity to counterattack.

This cooperation was somewhat similar to what Lin Zhen and his clone had achieved in the past.

Crack~!

Seeing the unfavorable situation, Lin Zhen took out the Cliff Corner Spear. Juggling two Heavenly Tool spears in his hands, he countered the combined attacks of the Five Ghosts and Ying Huo.

These days, Lin Zhen had practiced dual wielding and had achieved impressive results. With the two Heavenly Tool spears dancing in the air, he was able to block the combined attacks of the Five Ghosts and Ying Huo.

“This boy can actually wield two spears with both hands!”

“He’s really a tough bone to chew, but today, no matter how hard the bone is, we will crush him!”

The battle between the three attracted a large crowd, and news quickly spread to the Dimensional Universe.

Both the Five Ghosts and Ying Huo were well-known figures and were immediately recognized.

Lin Zhen was also quite famous. His previous battle in the Chaotic Star River had made him known to many in the Fire Kirin Empire as an emerging young powerhouse.

Nobody expected that Lin Zhen could actually fight against the two strong arena gods, the Five Ghosts and Ying Huo.

Immediately, there was much debate in the Dimensional Universe. Some people at the scene claimed that the Five Ghosts were no match for Lin Zhen, who, as a rising strongman, would replace them.

Feeling humiliated, the Five Ghosts and Ying Huo were determined to finish this battle quickly.

Lin Zhen was indeed a difficult opponent. Despite his lower star power, he was able to hold his own against them using his dual spears for quite some time. If they couldn’t defeat him soon, it would be a huge embarrassment.

Infuriated, the two opponents brought out their best tactics to carry on the fight, giving Lin Zhen an eye-opening experience in battle.

They were even proficient in controlling space and time, although not as much as Lin Zhen. Coupled with a myriad of attack techniques, they eventually caught Lin Zhen off guard.

A few minutes later, Lin Zhen could no longer keep up with the fight.

In the end, he was lacking in absolute strength.

“No good, if I continue like this, I will lose my life here. I need to run.”

Lin Zhen’s body surged with star power, and he shouted, “Collapse!”

A flash of light flickered, and the Five Ghosts and Ying Huo briefly retreated, knowing the power behind Lin Zhen’s move.

However, they were unprepared for Lin Zhen to use the flash of light to teleport tens of thousands of kilometers away!

“Damn it, he fled!” The Five Ghosts were furious.

“No, he can’t escape. When I hit him with my punch, I placed a tracking mark on him. Let’s chase him. We need to finish him off, or else we will be humiliated!”
