Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Revenge (Fifth request for votes)
Translator: 549690339
Killing Ouyang Yu with a single punch, Lin Zhen felt a surge of relief in his heart. This man wasn’t very powerful, but extremely despicable. His actions were the catalyst for the ruin of Lin Zhen’s past life.
Even though in this life, he posed no threat to Lin Zhen, revenge remained a necessity. What was the point of reincarnation if not to eradicate his enemies?
The two lower-ranked war generals had already fled, disappearing completely. The battlefield was now left to Lin Zhen and Zhang Huai.
Although Lin Zhen stood unarmed, Zhang Huai was entirely devoid of the courage to resist him. The looming threat of death nearly pushed Zhang Huai to the brink of collapse.
When he saw Du Yanhu nailed dead onto a distant wall, and heard the cries of Ouyang Yu behind him, Zhang Huai even lost the will to flee.
Falling to the ground, he crawled forward with all his fours, a rancid smell spreading out from his lower body.
Lin Zhen slowly walked behind him. Although each step he took on the snow was silent, it felt to Zhang Huai as if Lin Zhen was stepping on his heart, leaving him nearly breathless.
Turning to face Lin Zhen, lying on the ground continuing to back away, Zhang Huai pleaded in horror: “Lin Zhen, spare me, spare me. I haven’t always treated you well but I’ve never really hurt you, have I? I don’t even pose a threat to you now. Someone great like you wouldn’t go so far as to kill an insect like me, would you?
“Haha! Do you believe that you haven’t hurt me?” Lin Zhen asked, looking down.
“Of course… no! I made mistakes. Initially, I agreed to let that bastard Ouyang Yu harm your old man. I was wrong for that. I have repented, cried bitterly. I have even prayed before God, asking for forgiveness for my sins. I’m willing to spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins. I’ll become a priest in the church, recite the Bible a hundred times every day…”
“That’s quite a flowery speech. I even feel like your mistakes might be forgivable.”
“Yes, yes. There’s still hope for me. As long as you spare me, I can swear my loyalty to you, obeying your every command in this life and all the lives to come. ”
“When you mention all the lives to come, I presume you’re not including your past life, right?” Lin Zhen asked, bending down.
“Past life…?” Zhang Huai was taken aback, utterly confused by what Lin Zhen was implying.
Glimpses of his past life flashed before Lin Zhen’s eyes.
In Ice City, his past life enemies—Chen Jingchou, Ouyang Yu were dead. The only one left was Zhang Huai.
In his past life, Lin Zhen’s father, Lin Liye, was killed by Zhang Huai—a fact Lin Zhen could never forget.
“Seems like you do not understand. It doesn’t matter, there’s no need for you to Imow. ”
Upon finishing his words, Lin Zhen turned around and began to walk away.
After taking a few steps, Lin Zhen bent down to collect the war spoils left on the ground.
Lin Zhen hadn’t had time to collect the spoils from his previous battles, and he was not in the habit of wasting. He had no intention of leaving weaponry worth millions scattered in the snow.
Seeing that Lin Zhen did not appear to intend to kill him, Zhang Huai heaved a sigh of relief and slowly stood up.
He was tempted to ambush Lin Zhen but lacked the courage. Instead, as soon as he stood, he prepared to run.
At that moment, Lin Zhen said to him, “You saw how Du Yanhu met his end, didn’t you?”
Zhang Huai paused for a moment, glanced at Du Yanhu impaled by a long spear, then turned to look at Lin Zhen, not Imowing why he would say such a thing.
All he saw was Lin Zhen motion towards the spear, and then, in the blink of an eye, the silver spear flew back towards him, impaling his body, before returning to Lin Zhen’s hand.
“I just wanted to prepare you, because the way Du Yanhu died, that’s now you will die.”
Lin Zhen brushed off the blood on the silver spear, examining it from top to bottom. It was far superior to his discarded Black Dragon Spear, one of the best spears that a war general could wield, only second to the ones custom-made for Lin Zhen.
“Out with the old, in with the new. From now on, you’ll accompany me for a while. ”
Lin Zhen flicked the spear lightly, and Zhang Huai’s body slowly fell to the ground.
Thus, Lin Zhen had decimated all his enemies from his past life in the Ice City. None were spared.
Exhaling a breath of white mist, Lin Zhen looked up at the sky and said, “My past life… it’s over. From now on, I’ll be a whole new me.”
Noisy footsteps echoed in the background as the martial artists who had ascended the Zhao Dong Building now began to descend.
Despite being martial artists, they couldn’t leap from a thirty-six-story building, and so they had to either use the stairs or climb down.
This process took them over three minutes. They could not have imagined that within a mere three minutes, Lin Zhen had slaughtered almost twenty martial artists.
By the time they descended, all they saw was Lin Zhen standing alone, collecting some weapons. Blood was everywhere, and the ground was littered with bodies. It looked like a hell on earth.
Looking up at them, Lin Zhen gave a faint smile: ‘You have finally decided to join us. But sadly, you are too late. I will be taking my leave.”
After saying this, Lin Zhen quickly retreated two steps, leaped over a low wall, flew onto a rooftop, and started running swiftly into the distance.
“Lin Zhen! You bastard! After him! Whoever kills Lin Zhen will claim the three billion!”
Li Tianhao’s eyes were blazing with rage. He had meticulously planned for so long, yet had not managed to harm Lin Zhen in the slightest. How could he accept such a result?
Lang Tianxiao, Yang Lie, Dong Xuefei, and Jiao Zan, the four Advanced War Generals, immediately gave chase. Even though Lin Zhen had advanced to the War General Stage, they did not find him intimidating. They did not believe that Lin Zhen could stand against them.
Under normal circumstances, they might have chosen to stand by. But with thirty billion at stake, they were determined to take the gamble.
The six Intermediate War Generals discussed briefly and also made their decision swiftly. They formed a team to chase and kill Lin Zhen together, determined to get involved.
This was the doom of wilderness Martial Artists. Those from a typical martial arts school in Base City would probably not be as daring. Lin Zhen’s bloody massacre did not intimidate them at all as they were rather self-confident and proud.
“Let’s follow them, we can’t let Lin Zhen get away!” Li Tianhao wanted to join the pursuit, but was stopped by Lou Qingfeng.
“Young Master, forgive my directness, but dealing with Lin Zhen may not be as easy as you think. Additionally, my duty is to ensure your safety, and your current actions pose a clear threat to it. I disapprove of you joining the chase.”
Li Tianhao’s courage to chase after Lin Zhen came mainly from the presence of Lou Qingfeng by his side.
With this Seventh -level Spiritual Mind Master at his side, Li Tianhao was able to act unimpeded in the Wilderness Area. He was unafraid of Lang Tianxiao, a Level Eight War General, or Divine Speedsters.
Moreover, Lou Qingfeng was more than just his personal bodyguard. Li Wanfeng even authorized Lou Qingfeng to knock Li Tianhao unconscious and take him home if he acted recklessly. This was the reason why Li Wanfeng dared to let his son leave home.
As expected, following Lou Qingfeng’s disagreement, those from the Xiao
family who were also prepared to act no longer dared to move. As for Old Hu, he didn’t dare to take a step in the first place.
“Mr. Lou, are we just going to watch Lin Zhen escape?” Li Tianhao was furious, but he didn’t dare disrespect Lou Qingfeng.
“Young Master, it’s not certain that Lin Zhen will be able to escape. I can’t speak for the others, but Lin Zhen should be no match for Lang Tianxiao and
Yang Lie. The wind has stopped, but the road out of Zhao Dong isn’t open. Lin
Zhen cannot escape from Zhao Dong, so there’s no need to worry.”
“Alright then, I’ll wait right here and see how Lin Zhen dies.”
Li Tianhao grudgingly uttered these words and then stopped in a sheltered place near the Zhao Dong Building.
After a certain distance, Lang Tianxiao and others came to a crossroads.
“Which direction did Lin Zhen take?”
They looked around for footprints but found no trace.
“We can be sure he ran off in one of these directions. Let’s split up. Yang Lie, you’re with me.”
Lang Tianxiao said this and took Yang Lie along the forward path.
“Jiao Zan, we’ll take the left. The right is up to you six,” Dong Xuefei told Jiao Zan as they moved in the left direction.
The remaining six Intermediate War Generals went to the right.
These warriors were not unconcerned that Lin Zhen might be lying in ambush on one of these paths. But in their eyes, Lin Zhen would absolutely not dare to ambush them. At most, he might ambush the Intermediate War Generals.
Thus, the Advanced War Generals chased without any inhibitions, while the Intermediate War Generals moved cautiously, fearing Lin Zhen might suddenly attack.
However, none of them found any trace of Lin Zhen. Instead, they ended up moving further away from Zhao Dong Building.
Shortly after their departure, Lin Zhen poked his head out from a nearby small building.
He had chosen to fly to this place, made a turn, and flew into the small building. Unaware that he was a Spiritual Mind Master, they did not know he could progress without leaving behind traces.
Emerging from the window of the small building, Lin Zhen doubled back to Zhao Dong Building.
At this moment, Li Tianhao was grumbling in a sheltered place.
“Lin Zhen, if you die, consider yourself lucky. If I catch you, I’ll make you regret ever being born. You’ll learn then, that being able to die peacefully is a luxury.”
Next to him, Lou Qingfeng was standing with his eyes half-closed, seemingly half asleep, but, as Lin Zhen knew, he was, in fact, the most formidable foe in Zhao Dong.
Old Hu was present as well, talking to Li Tianhao and occasionally cursing Lin Zhen, disgracefully acting as a sycophant.
The Xiao family brothers were casually looking around the battlefield in hopes of finding some valuable items.
“Lou Qingfeng is indeed tough, but the Xiao brothers are also Advanced War Generals. Their combined strength is considerable, and if I let one of them loose, it could complicate things.”
Lin Zhen took a deep breath and silently moved towards the building—like a leopard stalking through the grass.. Every person present was his prey!
