Age of Evolution

Chapter 104: Pursuit

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen didn’t know about the situation in Base City, and he had never thought of relying on others’ help. He already had a plan in mind, and everything was going according to it.

The Martial Artists on the third floor, seeing an Advanced War General coming, became flustered and began to attack Lin Zhen chaotically.

In their panic, they lost their cooperation and charged at Lin Zhen in a disorderly manner, giving him the chance to counterattack.

His spear technique changed from being immovable like a mountain to a

raging storm. Since Lin Zhen was standing at a higher position, his power increased greatly as he attacked from above, killing two more Junior War Generals.

Bloodshed sobered these people up a bit, and they retreated in embarrassment as their attack plan failed once again.

As they failed, more Martial Artists came, including Dragon Slayer’s Du Yanhu, Zhang Huai, and Ouyang Yu. Of course, they were not the heavyweights. The real heavyweights were the four Advanced War Generals.

Lang Tianxiao and Yang Lie, one a naturally born Divine Speedster and the other a naturally born Divine Power User, made the other Martial Artists feel hopeless.

With these two present, there probably wouldn’t be much for anyone else to do. Lin Zhen was as good as dead.

In addition to them, two more Advanced War Generals arrived.

One was Dong Xuefei, and the other was Jiao Zan, both Seventh-level War Generals.

Originally, Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan planned to back off after seeing Lang

Tianxiao and his companion, knowing their strength as fellow Advanced War Generals and not wanting to compete with them.

However, Lang Tianxiao reassured them: “Both of you, don’t worry. I, Brother Wolf, have always won people over with kindness, never bullying other Martial Artists. Today, during the siege on Lin Zhen, Yang Lie and I definitely won’t make the first move. You can attack however you want. If you succeed, the three billion is all yours. If you fail, we will take over. What do you think?” Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan exchanged glances, seeing disbelief in each other’s eyes.

Dong Xuefei asked: “Brother Wolf, are you serious?”

“Of course, it’s true. Yang Lie, look, there’s a small building over there. Let’s go stay there and watch the show from there.”

After finishing, Lang Tianxiao led Yang Lie to a small building not far away and took up positions there. It had an excellent view of the entire Zhao Dong Building.

Jiao Zan looked at Dong Xuefei: “Brother Dong, what should we do?”

Dong Xuefei gritted his teeth: “No matter what Lang Tianxiao’s intentions are, we can’t miss this opportunity. We must fight for the three billion. As long as Lang Tianxiao doesn’t make a move, we shouldn’t give them any more chances.”

Jiao Zan also nodded: “Alright, let’s do it.”

After discussing their plan, the two quickly entered Zhao Dong Building, ready to deal with Lin Zhen.

Yang Lie, following Lang Tianxiao to the small building, asked in confusion: “Tianxiao, why are we giving them the opportunity? Wouldn’t it be better for us to just go and finish Lin Zhen off?”

“No, that’s wrong. More and more Martial Artists are gathering here now, totaling about thirty or forty. Even if we manage to kill Lin Zhen in this situation, getting the reward won’t be easy. Whoever gets the money is likely going to be besieged by everyone else. It’s better to wait for them to wear each other out and then make our move. You should know that communication with the outside world is impossible now, and no one can come in or get out. Inside Zhao Dong, who do you think can escape our grasp? In the end, the three billion will definitely be ours.”

Yang Lie suddenly realized the plan and gave Lang Tianxiao a thumbs up:

“Tianxiao, that’s brilliant! But what if they can’t capture Lin Zhen?”

“Haha! That’s even better. My hands have been itching for a while now, and I really want to take care of a genius like him personally.”

The two of them settled down in the small building, determined to wait for the right moment and be the final winners.

Lin Zhen firmly defended the stairs between the third and fourth floors, making the Martial Artists in front of him not dare to take a step forward.

It wasn’t until Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan arrived, inquiring about the situation, that these Martial Artists told the two Advanced War Generals about how difficult it was to deal with Lin Zhen.

“Oh! So, he really is a genius, but a fallen genius is nothing after all. The rest of you start climbing to the fourth floor immediately; we’ll handle this.”

The martial artists immediately started climbing to the fourth floor, but this time Lin Zhen didn’t wait at the staircase entrance. He stepped on the stairs, collapsing them and went straight to the fifth floor!

“Nice try, kid, but there’s no escape!”

Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan leaped up, completely ignoring the dust from the collapsing stairs and jumped straight up.

Lin Zhen quickly retreated by a few steps, letting the other martial artists going to the fourth floor miss, and then tightly guarded the staircase entrance to the fifth floor against the two Advanced War Generals!

This time, the immovable like a mountain finally met a match!

Dong Xuefei wielded a sword and Jiao Zan had a knife. Their strength and speed were far beyond an Intermediate War General. Lin Zhen had just exchanged blows with them and was immediately forced to retreat continuously!

“This won’t do. Advanced War Generals have incredible strength compared to mine. Although I can block their attacks, the power difference is too large, and I will be defeated quickly.”

The Black Dragon Spear in his hand kept trembling as it collided, and if this continued for a while, the spear might not withstand the intense collisions.

Seeing that he couldn’t resist, Lin Zhen did not linger either. After swiftly attacking with two swift strikes of his spear, he retreated again and headed straight for the staircase to the sixth floor.

Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan continued their pursuit, and the martial artists who originally went from the third floor to the fourth floor, then from the fourth floor to the fifth floor, ended up empty-handed and had to climb again to the sixth floor.

They came up empty-handed on the sixth floor too, and the battlefield shifted again to the seventh floor.

By the time these people chased to the seventh floor, they were all feeling overwhelmed.

Above the seventh floor, they were at a high altitude. The cold wind howled at them as they clung to the icy surface. A junior War General had his strength sapped after climbing and fighting. Once he reached the top, the gale hit him unprepared, causing his hands and feet to become rigid. He slipped on the ice and was blown into the air by the strong winds!

The man screamed as he fell, unable to make effective moves to cushion the impact due to his stiffness. He crashed heavily onto the ground and died on the spot!

This accident made the martial artists extra cautious. It was too cold on the seventh floor, and even before fighting, thick snowflakes had fallen on everyone’s bodies. They carefully stabilized themselves, desperately trying not to be blown away by the cold wind.

Dong Xuefei and Jiao Zan chased to this point, both of their bodies shivering slightly.

“Damn it, why did we choose such a place to deal with Lin Zhen? This place can freeze people to death!”

“What are you guys doing hiding over there? Hurry up and block the eighth floor. Lin Zhen has nowhere to run now. If he goes any higher, he’ll be an icicle.”

Jiao Zan was still urging them when several martial artists couldn’t stand the cold anymore.

“I can’t do this anymore. I’m out of this fight. I don’t care about the rewards. If I continue, I’ll freeze to death first.”

“I can’t take it either. The temperature must be minus fifty degrees. If I stay here for another minute, even my internal organs will be frozen. I have to go too. You guys continue.”

Among the people who came up, there were several Level 9 Warriors who couldn’t stand it any longer, and they took the initiative to withdraw from the battle, beginning their descent.

Originally, there were almost 30 or 40 people who came up, but 6 or 7 of them left, leaving only the War Generals.

Lin Zhen stood at the entrance to the staircase from the seventh to the eighth floor, his hair and eyebrows frozen. He exhaled a white breath, and a smile appeared on his face.
