Chapter 443: 443: Fierce Battle
Two martial artists near Jin Haonan had been eyeing Lin Zhen, clearly recognizing who he was.
However, Jin Haonan was presently busy stealing women and didn’t have time to deal with Lin Zhen just yet.
Lin Zhen was good at predicting danger, and he could bet that Jin Haonan and his men would eventually target him.
Since a showdown was inevitable, it was better to strike first. That was a principle Lin Zhen had always believed in.
Other than this, there was another reason. The Star River Giant Beast Alliance was a super organization, and they wouldn’t tolerate being bullied by underworld groups from Intermediate Cosmic Nations like the Heavenly Tower. If they did, those on top of the Alliance would definitely be displeased.
It was disgraceful how oblivious Huo Li and his men were to situations. Lin Zhen would not humiliate himself.
So whether it was for private or public reasons, Lin Zhen directed this mammoth tusk towards Jin Haonan.
There was one thing different between the Dimensional Universe and the real world: other than places like the Asura Arena, all other dimensional spaces prohibited the use of weapons.
This was a virtual world where killing didn’t carry huge consequences. If anyone could wield weapons, the dimensional world would have descended into chaos long ago.
Thus during fights, they generally used whatever they could lay their hands on as weapons.
This mammoth tusk was four meters long, thick and large. Lin Zhen grabbed it and swept it around!
Jin Haonan saw Lin Zhen but it was already too late to dodge.
“It’s you~~!!”
“Boom!”
Despite trying to block with his arm, Jin Haonan was sent flying by Lin Zhen’s attack, crashing heavily into the wall.
“Fuck! Attack him! Get this son of a bitch!”
Jin Haonan’s eyes were red with fury. Realizing that Lin Zhen was not easy to deal with and that he dared to sneak attack him was something he could not tolerate.
When Jin Haonan called for battle, the Demon Clan and the Half-beast Men all joined in.
These belligerent warriors charged up to Lin Zhen, who shouted, “What are you waiting for? Are we, the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, afraid of these gangsters?”
Boom, boom, boom!!
Taishan was the first one to charge out. This titan and a half-beast man from the Lion Clan clashed head-on.
Though the Lion Clan half-beast man was also ferocious, Taishan’s natural divine power was not so easy to resist. Like a rag doll, the half-beast man was sent flying dozens of meters away!
Taishan rammed into the half-beast man again, smashing him against the bar wall. After landing, he grabbed the half-beast man’s foot, madly smashing him against the ground.
In the ensuing dust cloud, the half-beast man was smashed to death in a now completely chaotic bar.
That marked the start of the fight. Lin Zhen and Cao Yang then rushed towards the crowd. The martial artists around realized there won’t be peaceful resolution and decided to give it their all, getting caught up in the chaos.
Huo Li, who had been hesitating for a long time, finally saw the situation clearly. If he didn’t take action today, he might end up offending both sides.
He glanced at Ling’er in the corner of the stage and shouted, “Don’t be afraid, Ling’er! No one will lay a finger on you today!”
Ling’er looked at Huo Li with a cold, disappointed gaze.
The battle broke out, and the bar was in total chaos. The patrons were used to such scenes.
Those uninvolved immediately retreated to the second floor, claiming a vantage point to watch the entertainment. They cleared the first floor for the fighters.
Even the barmaids, guards and the like cleared out. Anyone daring to fight here was not someone they’d want to mess with, so they decided to let the fighters resolve their issues until a conclusion was reached.
The Fairy Forest’s bar was extremely sturdy. The tree supporting it was no ordinary tree, but a Tree of Life, a treasure of the Elf Forest. Those below the Star System Stage couldn’t possibly destroy it.
Even during a brawl between high-powered Constant Star fighters, the most they could do was shatter interior decorations.
“Hoo, hoo!”
Lin Zhen dodged a fist, then quickly counterattacked.
Thousands of punches per second sent a green-skin demon flying backward. Lin Zhen weaved through the crowd, coming to the demon’s side, and slapped out an energy ball.
Just like a bomb exploding at his waist, the demon screamed and flew up into the air. Lin Zhen’s energy ball sent him crashing into the bar’s chandelier.
However, the physical strength of the demons far surpassed that of humans. Even though the demon had been directly hit by the energy ball, instead of dying he wanted to counterattack Lin Zhen.
“Roar!”
While Lin Zhen was preparing to continue his attack, a Wolf Clan’s half-beast man pounced on him. He left a deep bloody gash on Lin Zhen’s back with a swipe of his claws!
Lin Zhen’s battle was not easy. Level 9 Constant Star opponents were exceedingly powerful. What’s more, members of the Demon Clan and Half-beast Men had one common characteristic: they were simple-minded.
Being simple-minded meant their spiritual power was somewhat concentrated. While they might not be able to become a Spiritual Mind Master, they were not afraid of Mental Shocks.
Even Lin Zhen’s Sky Blue spiritual power found it difficult to knock them down with a single blow.
Without his weapon and the ability to use spiritual power, Lin Zhen was at a significant disadvantage in the fight.
In hand-to-hand combat, it was rare for anyone to be able to stand against the half-beast demon clan.
Besides, Lin Zhen discovered that many of these masters of the Constant Star Stage were under a hundred years old!
Considering that Jin Haonan was also under a hundred and likely to attend the young adults camp, their talents and abilities were no worse than Lin Zhen and his group’s!
Even though they were all accomplished individuals of the Constant Star Stage, they had no advantage in battling these gangsters!
Wave after wave of energy storms swept through the room, powerful currents of energy strirred up. These forces, enough to move mountains and drain seas, could not even scratch the walls of the Fairy Forest. All their power converged in this hall, turning the scene into a living hell on earth!
One martial artist on Lin Zhen’s side was caught in the crossfire of two half-beast men, and ultimately, his neck was severed and he was killed on the spot!
After all, they were outnumbered by half, and their individual strength also didn’t give them much of an advantage. Defeat seemed imminent.
“Use your talents!”
Cao Yang let out a roar, and hundreds of arms appeared on his body. His fists rained down like a downpour, and he managed to kill a half-beast man of the Wolf Clan.
Reminded by this, the other martial artists immediately used their talents.
Some grew additional arms, some gained immense strength, some partially armorized, and some grew larger in size.
The use of their talents quickly shifted the tide of the battle. The opponents found it hard to adapt and suffered a counterattack from Lin Zhen and his group.
Taishan’s talent was to turn into a Golden Titan. His over two-meter body increased to four; his body appeared to be made of gold. When he rushed into the crowd, he was impervious to the attacks of the demon-clan and half-beast men’s claws and teeth, which could not harm him in the slightest.
His pair of golden palms, like two giant hammers, swung around and caused devastation among his enemies, killing four or five in a very short time.
Watching Taishan ravage through the crowd, Jin Haonan’s eyes flashed with a murderous intent.
Like Taishan, he was also going to be a part of the young adults’ camp and was an adversary to these people from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance.
If he offended them, he might as well do it thoroughly.
A layer of sky-blue light emerged on his body, and his arms turned into two giant blades similar to a door panel!
Intermediate-level Galaxy Beast, Star Ripper gene activated!
The Star Ripper, much like a gigantic mantis, was a terrifying galaxy beast and a natural fighter.
With his legs becoming extremely agile, Jin Haonan quickly plunged into the crowd, swinging his huge mantis blades, and killing two martial artists from the Star River Giant Beast Alliance, who fell into puddles of blood.
“Hiss hiss!”
A flash of green light streaked past, and he was already in front of Taishan.
“Big guy, die for me!”
The green light flickered, and Taishan instinctively felt danger, putting his huge palm in front of vital parts for defense.
A series of metallic collisions echoed around. Taishan was far less quick than Jin Haonan and was cut by the mantis blade at the back of his neck!
The head of the Golden Titan was severed, and Taishan was killed in action!
While Taishan was falling, Lin Zhen was in the middle of the crowd, fighting.
With black scales appearing on his body, Lin Zhen used partial armorization.
Though his talent allowed for full armorization, he only stimulated half of its power, enough to freely wage war among the crowd.
His hands, covered in scales, had turned into lethal weapons. The wolfman behind him was killed with a single swipe to the head.
Like a bolt of black lightning, Lin Zhen continuously sought opportunities to kill.
After Jin Haonan killed Taishan, he headed straight for Ling’er on the stage.
Huo Li, who had been guarding Ling’er, saw Jin Haonan charging towards him and immediately activated his talent.
He had acquired the gene of the Thunder Beast, a galaxy beast. As he activated his talent, his whole body was covered in electric arcs. Thunderbolts struck Jin Haonan with ferocious intensity.
Huo Li was now going all-in, pushing his talent to the maximum, trying to fight Jin Haonan to the death.
He had already noticed that Ling’er disliked him. To win her over, he had to perform well, and now was the perfect opportunity.
Both possessing intermediate-level galaxy beast genes, their powers were evenly matched. Thunderbolts and blades clashed, making the situation extremely volatile!
“Come on, Jin, let’s fight it out!”
Huo Li roared with fury, ready to risk his life in the fight against Jin Haonan. As he sensed that his power was slightly inferior to Jin Haonan, he planned to detonate himself to attack the opponent, determined to win Ling’er’s heart no matter what!
Jin Haonan was also fully focused and intended to find an opportunity to kill Huo Li.
Just as the battle between the two was about to reach its climax, Lin Zhen, transformed into a streak of black light, quietly approached the battlefield.
