Chapter 967: Chapter 970: Counterattack!

_1 Chapter 967: Chapter 970: Counterattack!

_1 Yama approached Lin Zhen, his towering figure standing like a deity looking down at all creatures, gazing at Lin Zhen.

“Lin Zhen, if I were you, I would surrender now.

Qualifying for the fifth place is enough for you.

Coveting a position that you don’t deserve with insufficient power would only humiliate yourself.”

Lin Zhen drew his long sword, “There are some things you never know the outcome unless you try.”

“Ha!

How ludicrous, do you think you’re qualified to challenge me?

…

On this stage, you can’t even get close to me!”

Yama lightly raised his Grim Reaper Scythe, pointing at Lin Zhen.

A few clusters of dark energy rose from the ground, and a group of tormented ghosts appeared between Yama and Lin Zhen.

“This is…

this is real!”

Lin Zhen was shocked, the ghosts opposite him were real, not illusions.

Lin Zhen had never seen anyone capable of summoning creatures within the Dimensional Universe, but Yama had done it.

“Of course, it’s real.

This is the divine power granted to our Ghost King Clan.

Lin Zhen, it’s not an idle boast when I say you’re not qualified to fight me.

Now taste the torment of being haunted by myriad ghosts!”

“Kill him!”

Yama once again pointed, and the tormented ghosts howled and charged at Lin Zhen!

The ghosts were solid black, emanating powerful auras, each of them at the peak of the God Realm.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Zhen’s mouth, “Yama, are you underestimating me?

You dare to display these low-level ghosts, it’s simply overestimating yourself.”

Lin Zhen stood still, not even raising his sword.

With one thought, Heart Sword Formless!

A massive invisible sword net howled out, colliding head-on with the group of ghosts!

Hum~~~!

After the clear hum, lumps of blood and flesh appeared on the stage.

The ghosts were sliced into pieces with one strike of Lin Zhen’s Heart Sword.

However, Yama didn’t appear displeased as if the ghosts were not his.

Those pieces of blood and flesh fell to the ground and quickly reassembled.

Amid the swirling dark energy, they transformed back into ghosts.

This time, they were no ordinary ghosts, but ghost soldiers with ox heads and horse faces.

“Lin Zhen, you could easily kill the ghosts at the God Realm stage, but what about these at the Divine Stone Stage?

Let’s see if you can handle them as easily.”

Each of these ox-headed horse-faced figures held a small version of the Grim Reaper Scythe, their blades dancing and forming a screen of light, attacking Lin Zhen from all directions.

Lin Zhen began to move his feet.

Like a gust of wind, Lin Zhen weaved through the blade lights.

His long sword also became a weapon reaping lives, easily slaughtering the ox-headed horse-faced figures at the Divine Stone Stage.

“Yama, your ghosts are garbage, let’s get down to business!”

Lin Zhen quickened his pace, took down the ox-headed horse-faced figures, and rushed towards Yama.

If he wanted to win this battle, he had to confront Yama as quickly as possible, instead of entangling himself with these summoned ghosts.

Otherwise, he would never have a chance to win.

Seeing Lin Zhen rushing towards him, a black light rose under Yama’s feet, subtly sliding backwards silently.

“No, I told you, you are not even qualified to fight me.

A group of Divine Stone Stage ghosts doesn’t work?

Then try a group of demigods!”

Waving the Grim Reaper Scythe in the air, a rift appeared in the space, and a claw reached out from it, howling.

Black and White Impermanence crawled out from the space-time rift, with blood dripping from their eyes, stretching out their tongues.

The aura emanating from these ghosts was extremely strong, each one possessing Demigod-level power, totally different from the previous groups.

When Black and White Impermanence appeared, they launched an attack on Lin Zhen with their mourning sticks.

In Lin Zhen’s eyes, the Demigod-level Black and White Impermanence were still insignificant, he didn’t take them to heart.

However, he no longer wanted to tangle with these lackeys; he wanted to quickly finish the fight with Yama.

Yama had discerned Lin Zhen’s intentions, but he chose to not to indulge Lin Zhen.

He emitted waves of dark energy.

Each Black and White Impermanence that Lin Zhen killed immediately stood up and transformed into a Judge Ghost with the strength of King-sealing!

No matter how powerful Lin Zhen was, it was impossible for him to slaughter King-sealing figures like chickens.

Book of Life and Death, Judge Pen.

More and more Judge Ghosts appeared on the stage, increasing from a few to dozens, to hundreds, and then to thousands!

“Lin Zhen, if you wish to fight me, you need to kill all these Judge Ghosts!

I won’t hide it from you, this army of mine consists of undying Judge Ghosts, ten thousand of them.

If you manage to kill them all, then I will honor you with a real fight, hahaha!”

With things gone this far, Lin Zhen gave up thinking about anything else, swung his long sword, and used the Senluo Sword Skill.

Sen Han, Abyss, Rakshasa.

The three sword skills were linked together, forming a circular wave of Sword Qi.

Each of the King-sealing Judge Ghosts that rushed forward was slain by Lin Zhen one after another!

His sword was gold-plated, possessing a power not inferior to the High-Grade Treasure.

Lin Zhen’s current strength was enough to easily kill the King-sealing.

At this point, Yama finally took the situation seriously.

Swinging the Grim Reaper Scythe fiercely, a rift appeared in the space, and another ghost figure emerged from the space-time rift.

The gleaming Grim Reaper Scythe, the large black cloak, this newly appeared ghost was also Yama!

Lin Zhen’s eyes narrowed, this was a clone!

He did not expect Yama to also have a clone, and the rising Star Power on this clone showed just how strong it was, at least stronger than Lin Zhen’s own body!

“Hahaha!

Lin Zhen, seeing you fight so desperately, this king will grant you a favor.

If you can defeat my clone and these judges, then you’d be qualified to challenge me.

However, I don’t see such an opportunity arising.”

The clone swung its Grim Reaper Scythe at Lin Zhen!

Constrained by countless King Sealing Judges, Lin Zhen had no room to dodge and could only block with his sword!

Clang~~~!

The heavy impact numbed Lin Zhen’s arm and he stumbled backward.

The surrounding judges immediately swarmed in.

Although their strength was not impressive, their sheer numbers could still be a fatal threat, which Lin Zhen couldn’t ignore.

During the hasty swing of the long sword, the clone got close again.

The Grim Reaper Scythe in its hand brought about dark Death Ripples.

The constant rapid and unmatched attacks left Lin Zhen struggling to cope.

Lin Zhen tried to counterattack several times, but this clone was an unbeatable obstacle.

As the battle continued, Lin Zhen started to get injured.

********

Looking at the situation on the stage, the people below were discussing enthusiastically.

Qiong Jing sighed slightly: “This is bad.

Lin Zhen has no way to fight Yama directly.

If this continues, he will definitely lose.”

Ye Xingcai also said: “Yes, Lin Zhen’s only chance was to attack Yama relentlessly at the beginning, without giving him the opportunity to perform calmly.

Now he’s fallen into the enemy’s swamp of tactics, turning the tables will be extremely hard.”

Qiong Jing shook his head slightly: “That wouldn’t work either.

Yama’s clone is enough to give Lin Zhen a lot of trouble.

His body hasn’t joined the fight yet because he is wary of the thunderous light in Lin’s heart and wants to end the fight without risk.

If his main body joins, I think the fight might already be over.”

“The gap in strength is just too vast!”

Augustine said with a touch of schadenfreude next to him.

As long as Lin Zhen loses, he will never rise again!

He couldn’t even save his son, which would inevitably harm Lin Zhen’s Martial Way cultivation.

This is what Augustine wanted to see.

********

People on the side of the Endless Species seemed much more relaxed.

Lin Zhen had begun to sustain constant injuries, while Yama didn’t even make a move from start to finish.

The difference in strength between the two was clear.

They were cheering, celebrating, waiting for the moment Lin Zhen would fall.

Dong Xuehan closed her eyes slightly.

“Lin Zhen….Bastard!

This is the punishment you deserve, but…..will you give up so easily?

If it ends like this, I will definitely take your mediocre life!”

“Pull yourself together!

If you are to die, you can only die by my hand.

This is what you owe me!”

********

Lin Zhen was hit with a wave of Qi from the Grim Reaper Scythe on his forehead.

Blood was dripping down from his head, blurring Lin Zhen’s eyes.

The Yama clone in front of him had a Star Power definitely above fifty billion.

Each hit could bring unbearable pressure to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen thought Yama would seize this opportunity to kill him, but unexpectedly, this guy chose to slowly grind Lin Zhen down instead of eagerly fighting, just repeatedly sending out dark Qi from the back of the team, reviving each of the dead King Sealed Ghosts.

While this method’s effects were slow, it was very practical.

If this continued, Lin Zhen would die in combat from exhaustion in no time.

“No!

I must kill Yama’s clone, or I’ll definitely lose!”

By this point, Lin Zhen knew that he had to use his trump card again.

To clear away these fiercely attacking ghosts in front of him, he had only one move left.

The Constant Star nurtured by Lin Zhen inside the Black Hole– True Constant Starfall.

This move was originally planned to take down Augustine, as it was enormously destructive and would certainly kill him in one shot.

But now, he had no choice but to use it prematurely, or else he would be eliminated.

Once the decision was made, Lin Zhen’s Shadowless Step was pushed to the limit!

Practicing the Shadowless Step to the seventh layer, its power was finally revealed.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!!

He moved at light speed, and thousands of afterimages appeared in an instant!

By using the dreamlike steps, Lin Zhen finally dodged the clone’s charge!

Although he still couldn’t break through the encirclement of the countless King-Sealers, the pressure reduced drastically, and his body soared into the air!

He clasped his hands together as a dazzling golden light burst from his palms!

“Yama, don’t underestimate me.
