Chapter 968: Chapter 971: A One-in-a-Hundred-Thousandth-of-a-Second Opportunity!_1 Chapter 968: Chapter 971: A One-in-a-Hundred-Thousandth-of-a-Second Opportunity!_1 This Constant Star Fall fell on the ring, among the crowd of ghosts below, and in the hearts of the people too.

It was as if a scene of apocalypse, akin to the end of the world, was born inside the small ring, the colossal shockwave preventing people from even sitting down.

When the glaring brightness completely vanished, all that was left was a war-torn field.

The countless shattered debris was heaped like mountains, proving the occurrence of a real star explosion, not just an illusion.

The ghosts summoned by Yama were completely vaporized, absolutely vanished.

But the battle was not over yet.

Lin Zhen’s body was curled up in a corner of the ring.

…

Having experienced a real Star Explosion, he had a profound understanding of it and was able to effectively protect himself while the star explosion happened.

The real body of Yama, on the other hand, had withdrawn to another corner of the ring.

With his formidable powers and superlative combat experience, Yama was the first to realize the power of this strike.

He immediately searched for the most advantageous position and did everything he could to withstand this hit.

After using several of his defense cards, Yama survived this round.

Although it appeared rather embarrassing, Yama knew that surviving a planet explosion in such a confined space isn’t something anyone can do.

Even top master martial artists like Ye Xingcai and Qiong Jing couldn’t claim with certainty that they could survive a star explosion at close range.

However, Yama also paid a heavy price for this.

His black robe was completely shattered, revealing his real appearance.

He had short, thick bone spurs growing on his head, blue skin – quite a fearsome sight.

He was dressed in silver armour, which suffered some burns due to the explosion but wasn’t severely damaged.

This was a middle-grade peak defensive treasure, not something that could be easily damaged.

The Grim Reaper Scythe remained shiny and unscathed.

After coughing twice, Yama spat out a mouthful of blood.

Raising his head, Yama fixed his gaze on Lin Zhen, laughing sneeringly.

“Lin Zhen!

I didn’t expect you to have such a move, Did you put a star in your inner world?

No, no, no, it should just be a small Constant Star Core.

Otherwise, I would have been absolutely defeated by now.

No one can store a real Constant Star in their inner world.”

Lin Zhen didn’t answer.

He didn’t need to; the only thing he needed to do right now was to fight.

“This should be your last move, right?

Now I am very grateful for my strategy.

Although I lost my avatar, forcing this move in advance is worth it.”

Yama stood up from the ruins, dusted himself off, patted his chest, pulled out the Grim Reaper Scythe embedded in the ground and said to Lin Zhen, who was thousands of meters away: “You want to fight me?

Today, I will fulfill your wish.

Let’s get started!”

Yama finally made his move with the Grim Reaper Scythe!

The distance between them seemed far, but in an instant, it was nothing.

The very next moment, Lin Zhen already felt the cold of the Grim Reaper Scythe’s blade.

At this moment, Lin Zhen finally realized the difference between him and Yama.

Lin Zhen initially wanted to use Yama’s rushing opportunity to set off the final Destructive God Thunder.

However, Yama’s speed was faster than Lin Zhen had imagined.

Lin Zhen didn’t have time to set it off and was already in a dangerous situation.

Without time to cast the Divine Thunder, Lin Zhen retreated swiftly using his Shadowless Step and counterattacked with his sword.

Thus, a battle of uneven strength began.

Yama’s scythe created a torrent of blade waves.

Each attack shone with a brilliant radiance.

The gap between the first and second attacks was no more than 0.0001 seconds!

He attacked at superluminal speed!

This speed of attacking overwhelmed Lin Zhen.

He sprawled out on the floor, despite trying his best.

Some of his wounds were bone-deep.

“Hahaha!

Lin Zhen, today, let me show you what true strength is.

Your tricks are nothing in my eyes.

Knowing a little about many arts is inferior to knowing a lot about one.

My Scythe technique can make 99,999 cuts in one second!

You stand no chance in front of my absolute speed, understand?”

Under torrents of blade lights, Lin Zhen was like a boat in the storm, ready to be overturned by the blade lights at any moment.

Lin Zhen knew he was running out of chances.

His Spear Skill was nowhere near as good as Yama’s Scythe Skill.

Although he practiced his sword skill well, he had no advantage when facing the Grim Reaper Scythe in close combat.

A burst of blood colour rose to the sky.

Lin Zhen’s body was thrown high and fell heavily, his limbs almost cut off.

In the billowing dust, Lin Zhen fell to the ground.

He barely managed to support himself through the rapid recovery of the Immortal Spiritual Body.

Before he could stand up, Yama came flying across the ground, with a grim smile on his face, “You stand no chance.

Give up!”

The Grim Reaper Scythe dragged out a long, cold light, and waves of blade light came slashing again!

His vision was filled with flickering blade lights.

This wave of attack was deadly!

Lin Zhen was finally on the verge of defeat.

********

Down under the arena, Dong Xuehan subtly clenched her hands.

Next to Dong Xuehan, Tiannie suddenly asked, “My lord, do you think Lin Zhen still has a chance?”

Dong Xuehan surprisingly responded to Tiannie.

“The chance is slim.

If he wants to crack Yama’s harvesting sword skill, he needs to seize the gap in his strikes, interrupt his swordplay, and turn defeat into victory.”

Tiannie nodded, “Right, but Lin Zhen doesn’t have such strength, does he?

To break through, he needs to strike even faster than his opponent.

Yama strikes 99,999 times in a single second, Lin Zhen has a mere one ten thousandth of a second to counter.

This is too hard on him, I think his journey to top four ends here.”

“No!

He hasn’t given up yet…..”

For some reason, Dong Xuehan suddenly said this but stopped midway.

“Haha!

You seem to be quite fond of this young Ground Clan fellow, don’t you?

I never knew that our dear Lord Dong Xuehan could have such a kind heart, even appreciating an enemy.” Tiannie laughed with a slightly heavy tone.

Dong Xuehan inhaled deeply, “I just think he has potential, that’s all.

I’m only looking at this from the perspective of a Martial Artist, don’t go putting words in my mouth.”

“Really?

Then let’s just see if reality validates your assessment.

However, I believe he may disappoint you.”

Having said that, Tiannie suddenly stood up and shouted at the arena, “Yama!

What are you dawdling for?

Finish it!”

Dong Xuehan remained silent but did not refute Tiannie’s words, silently thinking, “Dammit…..

don’t embarrass yourself too much.”

********

Lin Zhen’s eyes widened as he watched the approaching sword light.

However, his spirit began to scatter.

Inside his Dantian, the Piaomiao Divine Bell floated, surrounding it, time seemed to be frozen.

It was the Laws of Power that froze time!

His Spiritual Power immersed in the Laws of Power, totally ignoring his own perilous situation.

“The reason why Yama can strike faster is because he has a deeper understanding of time acceleration.”

“I am not unfamiliar with the principles of time acceleration and deceleration, even more profound than his, but because his Star Power far exceeds mine, he can form a force field during the fight, making his sword speed accumulate, while my Star Power is inferior to his, even if it forms a force field, it will broken as soon as it appears.

This is the effect of Star Power.”

“At the same level of force fields, Star Power is the foundation.

My Star Power is inferior to his and prevents needed application.”

“To break Yama’s sword skill, only a higher level force field can be effective, and that is time freeze.”

“As long as I hold the power of time freeze, even a tiny bit, even a little, as long as it gives me the opportunity of one ten thousandth of a second!

I can turn defeat into victory!”

“My talent!

My aptitude!

I need to perceive!”

If Lin Zhen’s brainwaves could be analyzed at this moment, it would be found that his brain activity at this moment exceeds that of ordinary people by hundreds of thousands of times!

This is the power of talent, the potential stimulated by people in desperate situations.

Only those with extraordinary talent can be referred to as geniuses, and Lin Zhen’s current performance is undoubtedly a genius among geniuses.

Under the cover of Spiritual Power, the Piaomiao Divine Bell, a faint power was forcibly stripped by him.

Like a firefly in the darkness, a lighthouse in the storm, Lin Zhen felt a glimmer of light in the pitch-black night.

Although he has not truly comprehended time freeze yet, he can use this moment of inspiration to catch the opportunity of one ten thousandth of a second!

“Like this…

just like this!”

“Around me, a subtle force field has formed, only a tiny bit, but it’s enough!”

Lin Zhen abruptly opened his eyes, Yama’s sword light already attacking him.

At this moment, Lin Zhen was neither sad nor happy, his body gently leaned back.

The first sword light stormed past his cheek.

A strand of hair fell from Lin Zhen’s head, the second sword light was coming in 0.0001 seconds.

He could clearly see the brutality and smirk on Yama’s face, as well as the momentum of being determined to kill Lin Zhen.

That layered sword light had now frozen in Lin Zhen’s eyes, there was no speed to speak of at all, his body also responded quickly in the nick of time.

Stand upright, draw the sword, strike!

Buzz~~~!
