Chapter 100: Kill One Person in Ten Steps

After leaving the small building, Lin Zhen flew at a low altitude and quickly found another hiding place.

This place was a civilian residence, Lin Zhen entered without leaving any footprints.

Inside the room, Lin Zhen rested near the window, from where he could observe the outside situation at any time.

“If I can’t find a place to break through this time, the situation will be very passive. Moreover, breaking through is not that simple. I need to absorb the Dark Energy Stone, condense the Dark Star, and practice gravity. This process alone would take at least a day or even more. I must find a safe location.”

“But now, many people in Zhao Dong County City are looking for me. Where exactly is a safe place?”

Lin Zhen felt a headache, as finding a safe place under such circumstances was not easy. No matter where he went, enemies could attack at any time, making it impossible to stay for more than a day.

Looking up at the window, the ruins of the Zhao Dong Building towered in the sky. From this angle, he could hardly see its top clearly.

A gust of snow blew in, making the view even more blurry.

Even with Lin Zhen’s constitution, the environment made him shudder. It was unbearably cold, with the temperature likely falling below minus forty degrees.

“Huh! Got it!”

A sudden inspiration struck Lin Zhen’s mind, and he thought of an excellent location.

With his mind clear, Lin Zhen became more agile, and a bold plan quickly formed in his mind.

“Let’s do it. No risk, no gain. I don’t have a better plan now anyway.”

Lin Zhen made up his mind, observed the surroundings, and then left the drafty civilian house.

After leaving, Lin Zhen did not fly but carefully walked towards the direction of Zhao Dong Building.

As he walked less than a hundred meters, a white cat as big as a tiger leaped down from the roof by the roadside, pouncing directly at Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen raised his spear to fight the cat. It was fast, but Lin Zhen was faster. Ten seconds later, Lin Zhen stabbed the white cat with his spear, and it screamed before falling into a pool of blood.

Lin Zhen had only time to get the cat’s crystal. There was no opportunity to dissect it when a whistle came from the distance, “Over here! Here’s someone!

It’s Lin Zhen, hurry up!”

Figures appeared on rooftops and walls, rushing towards Lin Zhen at lightning speed.

“Damn it, hindering my money-making.”

Lin Zhen had no chance to dissect the cat any further, so he hastily left and continued running forward.

He hadn’t run far when he encountered someone trying to intercept him, leaping out from behind a wall, brandishing a long knife, and striking at Lin Zhen’s head.

“Hahaha! Lin Zhen, where can you run? The 3 billion is mine!”

“In your dreams!”

This person was merely a First-level War General, hardly a concern for Lin Zhen. He flicked his Black Dragon Spear, and a flash of electricity shot past, leaving a mutilated corpse in the snow.

Lin Zhen didn’t stop and vaulted directly over the wall, trying to evade the pursuers behind him. However, as soon as he jumped over the wall, he found another martial artist ready to jump over.

Seeing Lin Zhen jump down, the Martial Artist laughed wildly. His long sword stirred the wind and cloud, slashing at Lin Zhen’s legs.

Lin Zhen had no leverage in mid-air, and he tipped his spear to utilize his Spiritual Power, which allowed him to elevate another meter, barely avoiding the deadly strike.

The man couldn’t believe that Lin Zhen had such a move and was momentarily stunned when his attack missed.

Lin Zhen, however, ignored his shock and launched a powerful spear strike from above!

Waterfall!

By the time this person reacted, it was already too late. Lin Zhen’s spear attack was incredibly fast; he could only block with his massive sword. But how could the sword withstand Lin Zhen’s long spear’s powerful strike? After the attack, another blood-spitting corpse was left on the snowy ground.

Lin Zhen originally planned to snatch the dead men’s wealth, but before he could make a move, two men leaped from the wall one after the other.

Both were junior War Generals, and they raised their longswords and slashed furiously as soon as they got close.

Lin Zhen coldly snorted and bent his waist while sitting. Long spear assault!

Storm!

“Puff puff puff puff puff! ”

The golden spear’s torrent swept by, accompanied by the screams and sounds of pierced bodies. The two men’s sword attacks were far slower than Lin Zhen’s spear moves. The spear strikes came after yet arrived first; the two men landed, already turned into bloody messes!

Lin Zhen was just about to collect the weapons of these few people, which he could sell for at least a few million, but then three more people jumped over the wall like springs.

“Damn! This isn’t over yet!”

Lin Zhen swung his long spear. These airborne targets’ speed was no match for him; he had no fear at all. He repeated his previous technique, another storm of flashing spear lights. Two more people fell into the pool of blood, one junior War General and one Level Nine Warrior.

The remaining Level Three War General was rather quick-witted, using his comrade’s body to block Lin Zhen’s strike and barely staying alive.

This person was quite resolute too. Martial Artists were all strong in body and powerful, and he slammed his back against the wall, knocking it down with a roar, “Lin Zhen is here, hurry up!”

Several more figures were rapidly approaching from a distance, some moving especially fast, appearing to be more than just junior War Generals.

Seeing this situation, Lin Zhen bitterly smiled. His current strength could handle junior War Generals, but Intermediate War Generals would be more difficult. If he got surrounded by them, it would be a slim chance of survival.

Not caring about this person anymore, Lin Zhen pulled out his spear and turned to run.

At this moment, that junior War General leaped forward, brandishing his long knife and slashing at the back of Lin Zhen’s head.

“You want to escape! Leave behind the 3 billion!”

Lin Zhen furrowed his brows and turned to defend, but the Martial Artist had already withdrawn his knife and retreated, running at a surprisingly quick pace.

Seeing the opponent dodge away, Lin Zhen didn’t want to get entangled with him and tried to leave once more, but the Martial Artist attacked again with his knife.

“Hahaha, Lin Zhen, you won’t be leaving today! Even if I don’t personally kill you, I can create opportunities for others, and I believe whoever gets the 3 billion won’t forget my merit. At the very least, they should give me 300 or 500 million.”

“300 or 500 million, I doubt you have the life to take it.”

“Tsk, you’re desperate to escape right now; I don’t believe you can kill a dodging me in a few seconds. If you have the ability, come at me.”

Lin Zhen swung his long spear, raising his hand to strike. The Martial Artist didn’t even bother to block, immediately dodging to the side. He was really planning to play guerrilla tactics with Lin Zhen.

However, just as his body evaded to the side, a flash of silver shot by!

A flying knife slashed open his throat, spurting blood. In midair, it contrasted vividly against the white snow.

“Stupid fool, asking for death yourself, who can you blame? It’s no wonder they say ‘men die for money, birds die for food’; 3 billion has made you lose your mind. In the future, you would be worthless anyway, so I might as well put you out of your misery.”

Lin Zhen retrieved his flying knife, and seeing that the enemy pursuers were fast approaching, he no longer had time to collect the spoils of the few people. He ran a few steps, then suddenly soared into the sky, quickly disappearing around the bend ahead.

By the time the several Intermediate War Generals arrived, the scene was a mess. Six or seven corpses lay scattered on the ground, blood turning the white snow red..
