(Four more, give one more!)_1 Chapter 1143: Chapter 1146 Break!
(Four more, give one more!)_1 Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, the muscles on Zhu Chuang’s face twitched uncontrollably.
Being taken down by the Ghost Face Man with a mental shock was a lingering pain that Zhu Chuang held in his heart.
Nobody would dare to mention this in front of him.
Yet, this naive kid dared to speak it out loud today.
…
Zhu Chuang felt a surge of anger within him and was about to voice out, but Su Shanna quickly said, “What the hell are you talking about Lin?
There was a reason for what happened that day.
Brother Chuang was caught off guard by the Ghost Face Man because he lacked proper mental defense.
Also, the Ghost Face Man is really powerful.
Even Whistling Wind died at his hands.
The mere fact that Brother Chuang is here today, well and alive, is an outstanding feat in itself.”
Fearing that Zhu Chuang wouldn’t take them to Mirror Lake, Su Shanna laughed charmingly, “Brother Chuang, don’t mind him.
He’s just an obsessed martial arts freak who doesn’t think before speaking.
There are many like him.”
Zhu Chuang’s face grimaced with agitation, he grunted coldly, “I’m surprised that someone like him has managed to survive till now.
It seems your squad doesn’t wish to follow me to Mirror Lake.”
One of Zhu Chuang’s companions chimed in, “Many people beg young master for the chance to follow him into Mirror Lake.
You were given this opportunity and you don’t cherish it.
This is truly disappointing.”
On hearing Zhu Chuang’s words, Su Shanna was flustered.
She turned to Lin Zhen and furiously commanded, “You!
Come here and apologize to Brother Chuang!”
Lin Zhen gave a slight squint, “Captain, before I apologize, what about my share of the profits?”
“Who cares about profits now.
You’ve upset Brother Chuang, you won’t be getting your profits.”
Lin Zhen clapped his hands simply, “Very well, since captain says so, forget about it.”
Zhu Chuang was even more irate to see that Lin Zhen not apologizing.
He turned to Su Shanna and pressured her, “Su Shanna, think wisely.
You and your team can follow me into the lake area, but this guy…I won’t take him no matter what.”
These words practically forced Su Shanna to sever ties with Lin Zhen and expel him.
Kicking out a member from an established team wasn’t something done on a whim as it could result in making an enemy.
However, Su Shanna was a decisive woman.
She gave a glance to Lin Zhen, then Zhu Chuang, and quickly made a choice.
She took out the contract she’d initially signed with Lin Zhen and, in front of Lin Zhen, she ripped it up.
The faces of Yibu and Vieri turned pale.
After all, Lin Zhen had saved their lives once.
They hurriedly tried to dissuade Su Shanna.
“Captain, we can’t do this.
He has saved our lives!”
Su Shanna’s face was as cold as ice, “That is all in the past.
People must make decisions at certain times.
We lived just fine before he joined us.
Following Brother Chuang offers us new opportunities.
Choose wisely.”
Vieri was the first to back down, showing his interest in entering the lake area.
Yibu cast glances from side to side for a while, then sighed deeply.
This was a situation with no going back.
The contract was torn into pieces in Su Shanna’s hands.
After tearing it up, she coldly said to Lin Zhen, “We are no longer connected in any way.
You are on your own.”
After she finished, Su Shanna immediately stepped towards Zhu Chuang.
At this point, Zhu Chuang spoke up, addressing Lin Zhen, “Kid, I heard there were quite a few naive people in this world.
I’d never truly believed it.
After all, everyone here has lived tens of thousands of years, how could they be so mindless?
But today, seeing you, I believe it.”
Lin Zhen just smiled, “And then?”
“I had originally planned on teaching you a lesson, but I decided to give Su Shanna some face.
You staying alive in this place up to this day is entirely because of your seclusion training.
Even without me doing anything, you’ll soon experience the cruelty of this place.”
After saying these words, Zhu Chuang turned to Su Shanna, “Xiaona, what do you think of my decision?”
Pleased that Zhu Chuang was saving her face, Su Shanna was slightly giddy and she quickly agreed, “Brother Chuang, you did well.”
Zhu Chuang leaned in close to her ear, “But there’s one more thing, your former comrade has witnessed our cooperation, and you’ve expelled him.
What if, out of jealousy, he reports you to your clan?”
Su Shanna’s face changed and she was caught off guard.
Zhu Chuang gave a hearty laugh, “I’ll give you ten minutes to sort it out, if you can’t I will send my men to help.”
After saying this, Zhu Chuang and his companions moved to a large rock and sat down as if they were settling down to watch a show, giving Su Shanna some space to sort it out herself.
Su Shanna’s face went through a few changes, she had realized she had struck a path of no return, and there was no going back.
Zhu Chuang was suggesting that she kill Lin Zhen, and she didn’t seem to have any other choice.
Yibu and Vieri looked at Su Shanna with wan faces, unsure of what choice she would make.
Su Shanna let her self-interest win over her conscience and said to Yibu and Vieri, “If Lin Zhen goes free now, all of us will be in danger.
Can you come up with any other options?”
Yibu and Vieri remained silent for a long time.
Although they understood Su Shanna’s logic, their sense of conscience wasn’t completely gone so they found it hard to decide.
Su Shanna was irritable and waved her hand dismissively, “I will go ahead.
If you’re still part of my team, stop being an observer from the fence.
Fence sitters gain nothing.”
Having finished her words, to everyone’s surprise, Su Shanna charged straight towards Lin Zhen!
Lin Zhen had watched all of this unfold with cold eyes.
He intended to take care of the three of them, but they ended up making this decision.
“That’s fine, this saves me a lot of trouble.”
He stood there without moving, waiting for Su Shanna to attack.
In his eyes, Su Shanna was no match for him.
Before Su Shanna could attack, the surrounding space suddenly changed!
A layer of strange energy enveloped the surrounding space, making it separate from the real world.
“It’s…it’s spatial energy!”
Lin Zhen was taken aback.
In the area of the Star Sea, spatial energy was impossible to use.
Nobody could use it nor could they teleport.
But Su Shanna had clearly broken this rule as she could exert her spatial power here.
“So, this is their so-called Realm capability, quite miraculous indeed.”
Whoosh!
Su Shanna, who was initially charging head-on, suddenly teleported and appeared at Lin Zhen’s side, wielding her Embroidered Spring Knife!
Without looking back, Lin Zhen flung his hand and an energy burst exploded into existence in his palm.
With a thunderous boom, Su Shanna’s figure disappeared again and in the next moment reappeared above Lin Zhen’s head, thrusting her long knife down!
Lin Zhen squinted his eyes.
“Your spatial abilities are really interesting, but your realm is too weak!”
With a swift grab, he seized Su Shanna’s long knife using his quasi-undying body strength and forcefully took the weapon-grade knife from her.
Su Shanna had never imagined that Lin Zhen would be this powerful.
They were on completely different levels.
