Chapter 751: Chapter 754: Amazing Turnaround! (Third update, 1800 monthly tickets added!)

On the morning of the second day, the weather was pleasant with two suns hanging in the sky above the Qin Kingdom.

The arena was bustling with a sea of people as soon as the sky brightened.

Yesterday, there were more than one million competitors, and less than ten thousand died in the arena. Most of the remaining people didn’t leave immediately. They still wanted to see who would finally enter the Holy Land, especially after yesterday evening’s incident, Lin Zhen was even more focused today.

If it were someone else who had experienced such an incident, they might feel ashamed and quit the competition, but no one thought Lin Zhen would quit.

In the eyes of the people of the Qin Kingdom, this guy was already a complete villain, with a thicker skin than the barriers of the Original World and New World. So, it was not surprising that he would do such a thing. Why would he quit because of shame?

It must be said that sometimes Lin Zhen was really wronged. Not only the people of the Qin Kingdom, but even the people of other countries may not have a good impression of him.

The matter of Little Phoenix, the Crown Princess, the wanted criminal, the downfall of the Nan Liang royal family, the downfall of the Qin royal family, and now the bribery. For this guy, any means were acceptable to achieve his goal.

However, having a bad reputation had its own advantages, and people generally accepted it.

But many people already believed that there must be something fishy about this competition.

They all stared intently at Lin Zhen. If there was any problem, they would definitely ask the Holy Land to cancel Lin Zhen’s qualification to participate.

**********

Finally, it was time for the competition to begin.

Amidst the booing, Lin Zhen took the stage.

Surrounded by noisy voices, most of which were accusing Lin Zhen of cheating, Lin Zhen automatically filtered out these sounds. Perhaps his skin was indeed thick. As a martial artist, not being disturbed by external factors was a basic quality.

At the same time, appearing on the stage with him was Ao Xiang, the Supreme Elder of the Black Dragon Clan from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Already over 200,000 years old and nearly entering the Three Flowers Realm, Ao Xiang felt like he was facing a child when he looked at Lin Zhen.

Ao Xiang was tall and strong, dressed in black clothing that wrapped around his sturdy body. His eyes emitted an intimidating divine light.

After sizing up Lin Zhen for a while, Ao Xiang arrogantly said, “Young one of the Fire Kirin Clan, do you know who I am?”

Lin Zhen also looked at Ao Xiang, “You look a bit like my mount, but with one less head.”

“Insolent!”

Ao Xiang roared loudly, his long hair dancing in the wind, “Lin Zhen, stop using your words to cover up your guilt! Yesterday, your clan leader reached out to me, and hoped that I would let you off on the stage. It would be best if I voluntarily lost. In this matter, you picked the wrong person!”

“Oh, did that happen?”

“Don’t play dumb with me! I can’t believe you don’t know about this. Your clan leader offered me 10 billion! Lin Zhen, did you ever ask what kind of person I, Ao Xiang, am before starting your plan?”

Lin Zhen wasn’t in a hurry to fight and asked, “What kind of person are you?”

“My Dragon Clan is the most outstanding race in the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, and the Black Dragon Clan is the embodiment of righteousness, bravery, and fearlessness. We never tolerate injustice. I, Ao Xiang, have always taught my younger generations these tenets! Showing such vile tactics in front of me is simply asking for humiliation!”

Looking at the indignant Ao Xiang, Lin Zhen coughed, “Old sir, I think you might have misunderstood something.”

“What is it?”

“I know that our clan leader went to find you.”

“Of course, I know very well. You, Lin Zhen, are infamous for being capable of doing anything.”

“Yes, I told our clan leader that old man Ao Xiang is getting on in years, yet he still insists on participating in the competition. And my hand might be a little too heavy. What if I accidentally kill him? Wouldn’t that hurt the internal feelings of our alliance? So, I suggested for him to tell you to admit defeat voluntarily. I would rather spend 10 billion to make you admit defeat than kill you in the arena!”

Listening to Lin Zhen’s words, Ao Xiang trembled with anger.

“Very well! What a wonderful distortion of the truth! You dare to say you’re afraid of killing me in the arena? Fine, fine, fine! Today, let’s see who will be killing whom in the arena!”

After speaking, Ao Xiang directly took out the talisman in his hand and released a touch of real fire, directly burning the talisman.

“Lin Zhen, if you want to prove your words, would you dare to burn your protective talisman like me? Neither of us is allowed to admit defeat voluntarily. If you want to leave the arena, only one person can survive!”

Hearing Ao Xiang’s words, all the people below the stage were shocked.

From the beginning of the competition till now, this was the first time anyone had done something like this.

Directly cutting off the retreat, it was either die in the arena or emerge victoriously. There was no third option.

However, in doing so, Lin Zhen was also pushed into a corner.

You want to prove that you didn’t intend to cheat? Go ahead, dare to gamble with me for your life!

Even the big shots on the back of the Blue Whale had perked up at this moment, wanting to see how Lin Zhen would choose.

Someone from the Universe First Bank sneered, “This old man from the Black Dragon Clan is really showing off. If Lin Zhen doesn’t destroy the talisman now, wouldn’t he be able to piss him off?”

Qian Tong glanced back at him, “You’re wrong. If Lin Zhen doesn’t dare to destroy the talisman now, his momentum will be lost, and the battle will be lost without even fighting.”

Zhu Ziheng also looked at Qian Tong, “So, the National Master means that if Lin Zhen destroys the talisman, he’ll still have a chance.”

Qian Tong shook his head slightly, “There’s still a gap in strength, and even if he destroys the talisman, the chances of winning aren’t great. But deep down, I still hope that Lin Zhen can get through this round. In that case, my guest official might have a chance for revenge!”

Zhu Ziheng didn’t continue to speak, but watched the situation on the stage with interest.

The audience below hadn’t thought so much, each of them excited.

This is a life-or-death duel!

In this way, Lin Zhen seemed to have reached a dead end, and it seemed that he could finally be eliminated today.

“Elder Aoxiang is mighty!”

“Go, old man of the Black Dragon Clan, I was so happy when you scolded the Kirin Clan chief with righteous words yesterday. Martial artists should be like you.”

“Lin Zhen! Why are you chickening out? Weren’t you hopping around happily yesterday? If you have guts, burn the charm now. It’s over, hahaha!”

Those who supported Lin Zhen clenched their hands nervously. They didn’t want Lin Zhen to burn the charm, but they were worried that Lin Zhen would lose his momentum, and their hearts were very conflicted.

All eyes were on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen took out the charm from his hand and smiled, “I haven’t used this charm since I got it, and the Holy Land hasn’t given me a second one. To be honest, I never intended to use it.”

“But today, Aoxiang, you are forcing me like this, it seems I have to make a choice.”

As Lin Zhen spoke, he took out a large number of vials from his Space Ring.

“These vials are all filled with deadly poisons that can corrode a person’s flesh and strip their soul. Now I will put them here, crack-crash!”

Lin Zhen threw all the vials down, breaking them, and the black mist inside spread out.

Wherever the mist passed, the stage was weakened, and the stones rotted!

Seeing the dense poison gas, Aoxiang’s expression changed: “Lin Zhen, what are you going to do?”

“Nothing, since Elder Aoxiang decides to fight me to the death, these poisons are not important. In three minutes, the black weapon will spread throughout the stage. By then, whether we are dead or alive, we will turn into pus and blood. So it’s best if Elder Aoxiang can defeat me within three minutes, or if you can’t, just die with me!”

Aoxiang’s expression was fierce, “You are despicable. You still have the charm!”

“Fine! If you think I’m despicable, you can keep it, and see if you’re despicable yourself!”

After speaking, Lin Zhen threw the charm directly to Aoxiang, who instinctively reached out to catch it.

In this way, Lin Zhen no longer had a charm while Aoxiang ended up with one.

Aoxiang wanted to burn the charm immediately, but seeing the spreading black mist, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

The stage was completely enclosed, and no one could leave until the battle was over. Aoxiang believed he could win, but he wasn’t sure he could defeat Lin Zhen in three minutes.

He dared to burn the charm based on the foundation that he was bound to win. Now that he had a time limit, his life had become more valuable.

He held the charm in his hand, but in the end, he did not have the determination to burn it. Instead, he gently held it in his hand, thinking it was better to be safe than sorry. He was close to advancing to Three Flowers Realm and couldn’t risk his life with a madman like Lin Zhen.

Seeing this scene, Lin Zhen laughed loudly, “I thought you were brave, Aoxiang, but now it seems you’re just like this? Fearing death and craving life, this battle is over for you!”

Before the words fell, Lin Zhen’s Sky-cutting Divine Sword struck with an instant teleportation, right in front of Aoxiang – Taiyuan!

A spatial rift appeared, and the fierce Taiyuan attacked!

Aoxiang’s Star Power was as high as 40 million. Facing Lin Zhen’s Sky-cutting Divine Sword, he took out a long stick to parry!

But Lin Zhen’s fierce attack was beyond his imagination. After the first sword was blocked, he completely abandoned defense, and the Sky-cutting Sword in his hand constantly swung, each sword exerted with full force!

One after another, rays of thunder interweaved on the stage, and Taiyuan Sword Skill struck continuously!

Crack-crack-crack~!

Amidst the shining thunder, Lin Zhen completely ignored his own waist, abdomen, and chest, pushing his Star Power to the extreme!

Aoxiang could resist, but the stage beneath his feet could not!

Finally, under Lin Zhen’s onslaught, cracks appeared in the stage below Aoxiang’s feet, and a spider-web-like pattern began to form.

At this moment, Aoxiang saw Lin Zhen as a mad tiger and felt a trace of fear rise in his heart!

The moment the thought arose, he took a step back!

With just that one step back, Lin Zhen seized the opportunity for even more crazed and unrestrained attacks. With a buzzing noise, Lin Zhen’s sword intent surged, and a long Sword Gang shot from his palm!

Left hand holding Sky-cutting Divine Sword, right hand with Sword Gang, Lin Zhen’s figure flickered, Tidal Martial Intent erupting, the attack surging like a tide!

Seeing this, Qian Tong closed his eyes slightly on the back of the blue whale.

The battle was over!

From the moment Aoxiang feared in his heart and took Lin Zhen’s charm, the battle was over.

This Lin Zhen was truly extraordinary. In that situation, he not only didn’t fall into the trap but instead tricked Aoxiang. That poison mist was indeed poisonous, but as a Saint-Level Alchemist, Qian Tong saw clearly that the poison was simply a mixture of ordinary poison and Fossil powder and had no real power. Unfortunately, Aoxiang did not know this and was fooled by Lin Zhen. Aoxiang originally had the advantage, but with the presence of survival instinct, he lost his momentum and faced inevitable defeat!

“Alas! Foolish!”

For the first time, Qian Tong began to take Lin Zhen seriously in his heart.
