“Brother Lin!” Zhao Xiaoman shouted excitedly, tears welling up in her eyes, as if she was a wronged child who had just seen her parent.

“Brother Lin, our idol!” Jiang Huai and the others also shouted, their joy obvious.

Three months, they hadn’t seen Lin Zhen for a whole three months. They had even started to feel a bit desperate, wondering if something had happened to him.

But Lin Zhen had returned, and at the most critical moment, no less.

Although there were countless enemies here, seeing Lin Zhen made them feel an inexplicable sense of relaxation. With Lin Zhen back, everything would be alright.

Even though this thought was irrational, this was the trust that Lin Zhen had inspired in them.

Seeing Lin Zhen appear, Hua Cangtian and the others’ faces changed.

“There’s no need to worry. Lin Zhen is just one person, and he used to be Dong Shencai’s defeated subordinate. Even if he has made progress, how many nails can he drive with a body of iron?”

Tong Huan also shouted from the side: “Prepare yourselves! You’ve already taken action, and there’s no turning back now. If you don’t kill Lin Zhen and he finds an opportunity, he will definitely kill you. As martial artists, don’t ever show that damn sympathy. Throw it all away into the gutter!”

Without a doubt, Tong Huan’s instigation was effective. The martial artists did not dare to attack immediately, but they slowly began to gather around.

Lin Zhen walked through the shadows and gradually revealed himself.

He didn’t pay attention to the martial artists nor Hua Cangtian and the others. Instead, he looked at his teammates, who had been cornered in the crowd and said apologetically: “Jiang Huai, Changying, Qingfeng, Xiao Man, I’m really sorry. I was trapped somewhere during this time and only managed to escape today. I hurried back as soon as possible, but you still ended up getting hurt. It’s my fault. I’m not a very good team leader.”

“No, Brother Lin, don’t say that. I think you’re the most capable, the best. I believed that you would come back and teach these bad guys a lesson,” Zhao Xiaoman said, her mouth splitting as she cried. She was a mess, her face smeared with tears.

Jiang Huai looked at Lin Zhen: “Idol, I believe what you said. You were trapped, and that place must not have been simple. With your ability and willpower, you only managed to get out just now. If it were someone else, they might have died in there. The fact that you could come to save us, I’ll consider you my idol for life.”

Li Changying wiped the blood from her shoulder: “Brother Lin, I’ve never looked up to anyone, but I look up to you. In the future, when we leave the Star Fruit Tree, through wind and rain, as long as you say the word, I won’t hesitate. We’ll face the trials of fire and sword together!”

Lou Qingfeng took a deep breath: “Brother Lin, we’ve had our disagreements in the past, and my initial purpose in coming to the God Generals Training Camp was even to kill you. But now, I’ve come to my senses. As martial artists, we should have our own dignity, not just be someone else’s dog. I admire what you’ve done, Brother Lin. When we return to Ice City, if Li Wanfeng wants to go against you, I’ll fight by your side! To hell with War God, I’m not serving him anymore!”

Lin Zhen looked at his teammates with a knowing smile, “Everything you’ve said will come true. We have a long time together ahead of us.”

At this point, Hua Cangtian couldn’t stand their conversation any longer: “Are you useless few done babbling yet? Is this some kind of farewell before death? If so, I’ll give you one more minute to reminisce. Is that enough?”

Li Xuanqiong sneered: “Ridiculous. These fools actually have the mood to look forward to the future. Don’t you realize you have no future? Maybe you should say, ‘See you in the underworld’ instead.”

Lin Zhen spoke to Jiang Huai and the others: “You just focus on protecting yourselves. Stay where you are and don’t move. I guarantee your safety. Leave these guys to me.”

Jiang Huai and the others nodded. Although they still had some fighting strength, Lin Zhen was their leader, and his word was their command. They also had immense trust in Lin Zhen.

If worse came to worst and Lin Zhen couldn’t handle the situation, they would all fight their way out together, sharing life and death with Lin Zhen.

Seeing Lin Zhen facing nearly a hundred martial artists alone, Tong Huan sized him up and down: “Kid, you haven’t improved at all in three months? You’re still at the first level of compression. With that level of skill, you dare to boast so much? Do you even know how to spell the word ‘death’? Come on, draw a line, and our brothers will play with you!”

Lin Zhen’s dantian was different from that of any other martial artist, as he had the Dark Star embedded in him. While his dantian qi was compressed more than nine times, no one would be able to notice any difference. In their eyes, Lin Zhen appeared the same as when he had first arrived at the beehive. However, Lin Zhen smiled: “Alright, let’s draw the line, and have some fun.”

After saying this, Lin Zhen casually rolled up his sleeves, adjusted his clothes, and picked up his shining spear. Gently shaking it, he conjured a flurry of spear flowers, like raindrops in the air.

“Snap!”

Lin Zhen lowered his head and drew a horizontal line on the ground.

Lin Zhen raised his head again: “Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance, I drew the line. Today, anyone who dares to cross it will be killed without mercy!”

He suddenly lifted his spear, pointing it directly at the group of martial artists.

With a thunderous shout, Lin Zhen roared: ‘Who will fight me first?!”

This shout was incredibly loud, shocking the martial artists. After all, Lin Zhen’s past achievements included leaving Dong Shencai injured, so nobody dared to underestimate him.

Tong Huan saw the group of martial artists take a step back and shouted angrily: “Are you all brainless?! He is just a first-level compressor. Even if you’re not his match, you can tire him out with a war of attrition. He actually dares to draw the line, who will be the first to go? I’ll report to Overlord, and take you to the Sky Dome!”

Under the promise of rewards, there were always brave souls. Hearing Tong Huan’s words, someone fearless finally stepped forward.

A martial artist with a third -level compression was the first to jump out: “Lin

Zhen, things are different now. Just stay and let me deal with you!”

As he spoke, the long sword in his hand stirred up wind and clouds, and he charged towards Lin Zhen with considerable force.

Lin Zhen recognized this person — it was the team leader of West Three Group, Wang!

“Hehe, well, it’s an acquaintance. Good timing!”

Just as Wang was about to cross the line, Lin Zhen struck like lightning!

The bright silver spear flicked like a venomous snake, retracting and extending!

“Pfft!”

A red dot appeared on Captain Wang’s forehead, gradually growing larger and spreading until blood flowed down from it. His eyes dilated, and he fell to the ground with a thud, dead on the spot!

“Damn! This kid is so ruthless!”

“He’s gone completely wild. I don’t believe in this evil!”

“Brothers, we have no way out here. Let’s go together and chop Lin Zhen down!”

With the encouragement of many fanatical martial artists, the ones in front rushed forward.

At this moment, everyone gave their all, bringing out their ultimate skills. The glow of blades surged like waves, and sword shadows filled the air, mixed with flying shuttles, flying knives, and other weapons of spiritual mind masters. Some even pulled out long-lost firearms and bombarded fiercely from a distance.

Countless attacks came from all directions. Even a War God would have to temporarily avoid the sharp edges!

Jiang Huai and the others watched nervously, thinking that Lin Zhen should dodge, or else he would certainly die.

Some even prepared to cover and kill Lin Zhen the moment he dodged, determined to keep him there.

But Lin Zhen defied everyone’s expectations. Instead of dodging, he flicked his spear, and a burst of blossoming peach flowers appeared!

A rain of spear shadows met the oncoming crowd head -on.

speed!

Inconceivable speed!

With the advantage of the long spear, Lin Zhen’s spear light arrived first, and one after another, blood splatters erupted, shooting into the sky!

Swish!

Lin Zhen withdrew his spear and retreated, leaving a mess on the ground!

On that line, seven people had fallen, each stepping right onto the line but unable to advance a single step further. Blood spurted from each of their foreheads, and not a single one of them was left alive!

After one strike, martial artists in the back continued to surge forward, and those in the front had no way to retreat, gritting their teeth and charging again: “Lin Zhen, I’ll fight you to the death!”

“Let’s go together! He’ll be finished if we all swarm him!”

Lin Zhen sneered, his spear thrusting forward again. After a torrent of rain-like spear lights, seven more bodies lay on the ground, exactly like the last time. They all fell dead the moment they stepped on the line, but nothing happened to those who didn’t.

Moreover, Lin Zhen had been using one hand to wield his spear. When he saw the martial artists stop, he flicked his wrist, and a pile of objects fell to the ground.

“Don’t bring these things out in the future. They’re not even worth tickling.”

On the ground lay a mess of flying shuttles, needles, and knives. There were even over a hundred yellow-orange bullets that had been shot at Lin Zhen just a moment ago, all of which he had caught without a miss.

Catching bullets and flying knives with one hand while killing with his spear in the other, was this even humanly possible?

“Whoa! There’s a ghost!”

“Retreat! I’m not playing anymore. There’s no way to win!”

“Don’t push me from behind! If you want to go, go ahead!”

The martial artists’ courage faltered, and they immediately wanted to retreat.

Seeing this scene, Tong Huan became anxious: “Don’t retreat! Now, divide and attack. Attack Lin Zhen on one side and Jiang Huai and the others on the other side. Make it difficult for Lin Zhen by forcing him to attend to different things at once, and he’ll be easier to deal with.”

Some of the martial artists in the back rows didn’t see the situation up front clearly, but upon hearing Tong Huan’s words, they thought it made sense. At this moment, Lin Zhen was blocked by the crowd, while Jiang Huai and the others were at the end of their strength, ripe for the taking.

Immediately, many people from the back rows charged towards Jiang Huai and the others.

Jiang Huai and the rest picked up their weapons, prepared to defend. They would rather die than drag Lin Zhen down.

But just then, a figure appeared like a ghost out of thin air in front of Jiang Huai and the others. Another flash of spear light swept past, and seven more bodies collapsed onto the ground.

Lin Zhen raised his head, looking at the martial artists who were as startled as wooden chickens. They had no idea how Lin Zhen had flown over the crowd to appear here. He slowly drew another line on the ground.

“Look, I’ve drawn another line.. Anyone who steps on it will be killed without mercy!”
