Age of Evolution# - Chapter 778
Chapter 778: Chapter 781: Kirin Sacred Mountain
When the mutated Light Dragon Warrior came to his side, Lin Zhen felt a strong sense of alarm, knowing that this person was coming for him.
This Three Flowers Peak warrior was by far the strongest Three Flowers Lin Zhen had ever seen.
Lin Zhen had encountered many strong Three Flowers Warriors in the Earth Class, some of whom had even broken through more than ten levels of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower, but none had exerted as much pressure on him as this one.
The warrior looked at Lin Zhen as if his eyes were two shining mini suns.
“Are you Lin Zhen?”
Lin Zhen’s face remained unchanged, and he asked directly, “Who sent you?”
The Light Dragon Warrior was taken aback by Lin Zhen’s straightforward question, then chuckled, “Refreshing. No evasions, no nonsense. Since you asked, I’ll let you know before you die. Lin Zhen, don’t think just because you’re a Holy Land Warrior that no one dares to lay a hand on you. I need some Saint-level elixirs, so you must die!”
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to do that!”
Before Lin Zhen’s words fell, his Sky-cutting Divine Sword had already slashed out.
Death!
A spatial rift snaked through the air, aimed straight at the formidable enemy before him.
The Light Dragon Warrior sneered, “A speck of dust trying to shine!”
A flash of light, and the warrior, who had started later, arrived first, instantly appearing in front of Lin Zhen.
A five-foot-long saber slashed brutally at Lin Zhen’s chest at the speed of light!
Not only was his attack light-speed, but his movement during close combat was also nearly light-speed, giving no time for a reaction. The blade had already reached its target!
Bang~!
A lotus blossom bloomed at Lin Zhen’s waist, barely blocking the strike but still suffering some damage from it.
Lin Zhen didn’t even have time to grunt before the second saber slashed at his neck!
Holy Land Martial Arts!
The saber technique used by the Light Dragon Warrior was undoubtedly Holy Land Martial Arts, and his talent for speed allowed him to multiply its power in his hands!
But Lin Zhen was no pushover. He hadn’t had a chance to use his Holy Land Martial Arts until now, so he finally let loose.
Stepping on the Shadowless Step, he continuously dodged like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the Light Dragon Warrior’s saber.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!
As Lin Zhen unleashed Heigu’s sword skill, he launched a series of counterattacks against the warrior.
The consecutive counterattacks didn’t have much effect, as the Light Dragon’s power was somewhat beyond Lin Zhen’s imagination.
By now, Lin Zhen was well aware that the Light Dragon’s strength was superior to his own. Unless he consumed the Divine Power Pills to improve his fighting capabilities, victory seemed impossible.
While victory was difficult, the Light Dragon Warrior was also extremely shocked.
He was a Holy Land Warrior from Freedom City. Despite leaving the Holy Land for a thousand years, his ability to break through seventeen levels of the Thirty-Three Heavens Tower left him with few opponents.
Qian Tong had entrusted him to kill Lin Zhen, and he didn’t expect the youngster to have learned the Shadowless Step.
With his shape-shifting shadows, he would have been killed by Lin Zhen’s series of counterattacks if not for his speed reaching its limit.
“Kid! The Shadowless Step can only save you temporarily. You’re far behind me in terms of Star Power and speed, so you’re definitely no match for me.”
After executing Planet Fall, Sky-cutting Divine Sword, and Constant Star Fall, Lin Zhen knew it was hopeless. He simply opened his mouth, and the neutron God bead shot out, bringing a tremendous pressure from the sky.
The Light Dragon was startled by the power of Lin Zhen’s bead and immediately retreated. He turned into a streak of light, escaping a hundred meters away before gravity could bear down on him.
With numerous afterimages surrounding him, the Light Dragon changed his combat style, not attacking fiercely but fighting on the move, intending to exhaust Lin Zhen to death.
Seeing the Light Dragon retreat, Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the enemy did not press on, he could escape.
In an instant, a lotus blossom unfolded, forming a protective layer. Lin Zhen’s spiritual power was activated simultaneously.
Teleport!
The Light Dragon Warrior never expected Lin Zhen to teleport so decisively.
Performing short-distance teleportation in the Original World was risky, as the warrior could catch up in seconds.
But Lin Zhen’s teleportation was different. In an instant, he traveled thousands of kilometers, far beyond the Light Dragon’s vision.
After landing, Lin Zhen didn’t pause and teleported again, disappearing without a trace.
After several tries, Lin Zhen had traveled tens of thousands of kilometers. He himself was getting lost in the dense forest, let alone the pursuing Light Dragon Warrior.
“Phew! That was close. If I had waited a little longer, I might not have been able to escape. This Light Dragon Warrior’s power is truly astonishing.”
Having evaded the Light Dragon’s pursuit, Lin Zhen dared not ride his Double-headed Demon Dragon anymore. He flew low to avoid exposure and occasionally teleported to speed up his journey towards the Kirin Clan’s territory.
***********
Finding Lin Zhen would not be easy for the Light Dragon Warrior.
One misstep and all could be lost; he initially thought the battle was almost guaranteed to succeed, but in the end, Lin Zhen managed to escape.
For a martial artist who had cleared the seventeen-story tower, this was simply a great disgrace.
“Run, let’s see where you can run to!”
The Light Dragon sat on the ground, with Star Power floating above his head, and his inherent light elements radiated out, gathering at the top of his head.
Lin Zhen’s breath was still in the air; as long as he could lock onto a trace of it, he could find the general direction of Lin Zhen.
After a while, the light elements formed an arrow, pointing in the direction Lin Zhen had fled.
“It’s this way. I’ll see if you can run faster, or if my Light Thunder speed is faster!”
With a flick of his wide cloak, the Light Dragon rose into the sky, with a cluster of lightning forming beneath his feet.
Just like the lightning that streaked across the sky during a thunderstorm, this lightning sent a silver snake through the air, carrying the Light Dragon’s body, disappearing from the spot at an incredible speed!
However, it didn’t take long for the Light Dragon to doubt that he could easily catch up with Lin Zhen.
That’s because the kid’s route was not regular; he didn’t move in a straight line but instead, zigzagged unpredictably.
Although the Light Dragon’s speed in controlling the Light Thunder was fast enough, easily reaching three hundred thousand kilometers per second, he could easily overshoot if he didn’t gauge it correctly, consequently losing Lin Zhen’s direction.
With no other choice, he had to give up the flashy move of riding the Light Thunder and honestly follow the guidance of the light, step by step, tracking Lin Zhen.
However, Lin Zhen also teleported halfway through, which further increased the difficulty of catching up; he often had to re-establish the direction, so instead of getting closer, the distance between them grew even further.
At this point, the Light Dragon Warrior still had not realized that the direction he was heading was actually towards the Star River Giant Beast Alliance’s royal family of Kirin!
*********
After receiving Elder Qin’s invitation, Saga found himself in a dilemma.
Saga was cautious of Elder Qin, as the elder was not only a wise man but also had a scheming personality.
If it were an ordinary invitation, Saga would not even consider it, but this time was different.
He had gathered warriors from the Ink Kirin, Water Kirin, Wind Kirin, and Gold Kirin clans; if Saga did not go and take a look, he would not be at ease.
If Elder Qin was plotting something, wouldn’t he be kept in the dark.
However, he wasn’t too worried about Qin and the others attacking him, as a Three Flowers Warrior, how could he fear a few Longevity Stage warriors?
“Go! Let’s see what this guy is up to.”
Just as Saga was about to leave, one of his staff members said to him, “Chief, I won’t go into other matters, but please be careful. The other warriors are all Kirin; if they use the Kylin Decides technique, would you be able to withstand it?”
Saga hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, “As the Chief of the Kirin Clan, I can’t help but consider this issue. I estimate their trump card could be just that, but I’m well-prepared for it.”
As he spoke, Saga took out a bottle of black potion.
“This is Blood Poison. If it really comes to Kylin Decides, I can smear it on my scales. If they dare to bite me, they’ll be ready for us all to die together!”
Hearing Saga’s words, his staff member also felt relieved, as it seemed that even if Elder Qin wanted to deal with the chief, it wouldn’t be so easy.
As Saga was about to step out of the door, he stopped and said to his staff member, “Today, I received news from Lin Zhen’s Dimensional Universe Communication, saying that he wants to visit the Kirin Clan. If I haven’t returned by the time he arrives, please entertain him.”
“Understood, Chief.”
*********
The sun had already climbed to the zenith, emitting scorching rays of light.
Lin Zhen used teleportation again, passing through a vast area of dense forest ahead, and the surrounding plants began to thin out.
After walking about a hundred thousand kilometers, the ground beneath his feet was all fiery red gravel.
As soon as he felt the strong smell of smoky dust in the air, Lin Zhen knew he had finally arrived at the home of the Fire Kirin Clan.
The Fire Kirin Clan lived on a volcano called Panpas, with all of their people living around the volcano.
From a distance, thick smoke billowed above the volcano, with flames and lava erupting from time to time.
Such a place might be hell for other life forms, but for the Fire Kirin who bathed in flames and ate lava, it was a paradise.
Lin Zhen’s main purpose of coming here was to get a suitable avatar; his main body, the Black Hole Beast, was a Kirin, so it was natural for him to hope to find another Kirin body.
He had contacted Saga on his way here, and Saga had expressed support for his idea and told Lin Zhen that there were indeed a few available bodies here for him to consider.
However, he had met with Qian Tong’s people halfway, causing Lin Zhen’s plan to change somewhat. He was supposed to arrive in the morning but ended up being delayed by half a day.
In the scorching and distorted air ahead, a Fire Kirin appeared.
“This is the sacred mountain of the Fire Kirin Clan; halt, stranger!”
