Age of Evolution

Chapter 77: Lightning Strikes!

Translator: 549690339

At this moment, Tie Shan even thought the person before him was a War God.

It’s not that he’d never seen anyone dodge a bullet before, there were many people who could do that, but he rarely saw anyone dodge the bullets shot by

Zhao Shenji.

He and Zhao Shenji had collaborated countless times, and it could be said that they had never missed against War General Level opponents. While he distracted the opponents here, Zhao Shenji would deliver the fatal blow, and the battle would often end like this. Even if the opponent could dodge bullets, they basically couldn’t display that skill.

Moreover, Lin Zhen was just a small warrior. Before making this decision, they even felt that they were making a fuss over nothing. But their long-standing good habits prevented them from underestimating any opponent, so they still made this seemingly conservative and cautious decision.

But this small warrior, Lin Zhen, foiled their plan and made it fail.

Lin Zhen didn’t dodge the bullet; he used the Black Dragon Spear in his hand to directly knock down the flying bullet.

The scene before him was hard for Tie Shan to understand. How did he do that?

How fast must his reflexes be? And just having fast reflexes is not enough. How fast must his speed be? How could he accurately hit a flying sniper bullet?

Isn’t the Lin Zhen in front of him really a disguised War God?

Even for a general War God, achieving this feat might not be easy.

Tie Shan, who seemed rough but was actually quite careful, lost his composure for the first time during a battle. This was a fatal mistake.

Lin Zhen didn’t let this opportunity slip by. After a night of hard training, it had become almost an instinctual response for him to knock down the bullet. When practicing Storm, he could strike dozens or even hundreds of water drops within a second at his fastest. Lightning Ion’s acceleration made his speed reach a terrifying level.

Seeing Tie Shan’s momentary stupor, Lin Zhen made his move!

“Storm!”

One spear struck, and a hundred spears appeared. In a blink of an eye, there were dense spear shadows flashing in front of Tie Shan. Moreover, it seemed that there were golden electric currents jumping among the shadows, making it dazzling and impossible for him to dodge.

Besides, he had just experienced a moment of mental lapse which turned out to be fatal.

The only thing Tie Shan could do was to immediately raise his huge shield to block as much as possible.

But just as he raised his shield halfway, Lin Zhen’s spear arrived, and he ultimately couldn’t make it in time.

“Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff!”

In less than a tenth of a second, Lin Zhen left twenty-one transparent holes in Tie Shan’s body, from his right shoulder to his ribs!

This was Storm!

Lightning Storm!

Retreating seven or eight steps continuously, Tie Shan used his huge saber to support himself and stabilized his body just as it was about to fall. Blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth.

If it had been an ordinary person who had suffered such a heavy blow, they would have probably fallen on the spot. However, Tie Shan forced himself to hold on, holding up his shield with his saber dragging behind him as he charged towards Lin Zhen!

In Lin Zhen’s eyes, red light flickered around Tie Shan. The knowledgeable Lin Zhen knew that this was a secret method of burning the Dark Force in one’s Dantian, which only War General level fighters could perform.

Once this secret method was activated, the Dantian Qi would burn almost completely. Even if they defeated their opponent, the person either died or became disabled.

“This guy is desperate, probably to create an opportunity for the sniper!”

In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhen figured out his plight. If he became entangled with this desperate man for even a second, the sniper could launch a grenade-like attack and blow him to pieces.

If he dodged, the shield warrior would continue to burn his Dantian Qi and keep entangling him, making it impossible for him to win a swift victory. The sniper might even take the opportunity to call for reinforcements.

Time waits for no one!

At this critical moment, Lin Zhen’s mind became clear. He had to defeat the shield warrior with one strike.

With his current strength, there was only one move that could instantly kill the opponent: the third technique of Thunderous Nine Transformations, Waterfall, which he hadn’t fully mastered yet.

“You have your shield, thinking it can block the sharpest spear in the world. But you don’t know that the ultimate meaning of a long spear is to break through everything!”

“Wherever the spear goes, it can tear through space, like the Milky Way falling from the heavens. Your shield can never withstand it. The answer to the contradiction between spear and shield has long been found – shields will always be defeated because they are always on the defensive, so how can they win!”

Lightning Ion flickered in the palm of Lin Zhen’s hand. A thin layer of electric arc pulsed around his body, gathering on his spear as he raised it high and brought it down heavily, like the waterfall that accompanied him throughout the night!

The long spear, like a thunder dragon, let out a sharp whistling sound, and fiercely stabbed downward!

Crack! !!

The shield, with a quality even better than the Black Dragon Spear, was pierced!

The spear, with lightning around it, went through Tie Shan’s heart, stopping his burning Dantian energy abruptly!

The sword he dragged behind came to a halt, as did his footsteps; his eyes lost focus, his mouth opened and closed several times, and he only managed to say one sentence.

“What… what a fast spear!”

After saying that, the giant man, with the potential of a Shield Martial Artist at Long Wind Martial Arts Academy and Elite War General Tie Shan, met his end in the waterfall area of Ice City Water Park!

Having dispatched Tie Shan with a single spear, Lin Zhen immediately grabbed the shield and threw it into the air.

“Boom!”

A grenade launcher round was fired at that moment; perhaps because they didn’t expect Tie Shan to be taken out so quickly, the shot was relatively slow, striking the shield Lin Zhen had thrown in the air.

Although it seemed fragile due to the hole pierced in the shield by Lin Zhen’s spear, it was because his spear was too fast. When hit by the grenade, it didn’t shatter but instead spun in midair, blocking the impact force of the grenade and not causing Lin Zhen any harm.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhen leaped into the air using a pole vault technique, stepping on the flying shield, and headed directly towards the sniper’s hidden location!

Driving the shield with his Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen flew!

He knew that after he killed Tie Shan, the enemy sniper would definitely try to escape; he couldn’t let them get away or even give them time to report back. In this way, the people from Long Wind Martial Arts Academy searching for the killer wouldn’t immediately suspect him.

Because no one would believe that a mere warrior-level martial artist like him could kill two prepared elite War Generals.

So without any regard for exposing his Spiritual Power, Lin Zhen hurriedly flew in the sniper’s direction.

Zhao Shenji, on the other hand, already knew the situation was hopeless when he saw Lin Zhen killing Tie Shan with a single spear and blocking the grenade with the shield.

Moreover, his previously surefire shot was brought down by Lin Zhen’s miraculous move, and even the grenade was blocked. Zhao Shenji had lost all confidence in facing Lin Zhen.

The straight-line distance between them was about 700 meters, and he was in a tree further away. At this distance, he was confident enough to escape. As long as he reported this to his martial arts academy and the master himself took action, Lin Zhen, no matter how talented, would inevitably die.

Thus, following his usual habit, he first stowed away the sniper rifle and prepared to retreat along the planned route.

But what happened next nearly made his eyes pop out of his head.

Lin Zhen seemed to be trying to leap across a pool using a pole vault technique, which Zhao Shenji thought was foolish. How could one leap across such a wide pool? But he never expected Lin Zhen to actually step on the shield in midair and fly toward him!

There were two types of martial artists capable of flight: Star Realm martial artists and Spiritual Mind Masters. Lin Zhen was undoubtedly the latter.

Now, Zhao Shenji was truly panicked. He quickly threw away his sniper rifle, pulled out his phone, and even fell out of the tree in his haste.

Lin Zhen was rapidly approaching, and in a blink of an eye, half of the 700-meter distance had already closed. At this moment, Zhao Shenji had just come down from the tree. With all his strength, he ran and pulled out his phone, shouting to his academy using voice activation.

Cell phone functionality was top-notch at this time, and it only took a second to connect, but he had never felt this second to be so long before.

It finally connected!

However, Lin Zhen had already flown within a hundred meters of him.

“It’s over! Mission failed! Spiritual Mind Master….Ah!”

A hand went through his neck, and Zhao Shenji’s body slumped to the ground.

He couldn’t even finish the sentence he wanted to say. In his panic, he blurted out two useless words. If he had just directly said Lin Zhen was a Spiritual Mind Master, the people on the other end would have received complete information. However, his incomplete and disjointed sentence left it unclear what the people from Long Wind Martial Arts Academy would think.

And so, an incomplete sentence, even preserving Zhao Shenji’s dying scream, was sent to the internal network of Long Wind Martial Arts Academy, where everyone could hear it.

Lin Zhen certainly heard it too. Even his forehead broke out in a cold sweat.

Victorious in today’s battle, it was the most dangerous fight Lin Zhen had experienced since his rebirth. If any link in the chain had even the smallest mistake, the outcome would be completely different..
