Chapter 679: Chapter 681: Wolfman and Black Widow
The pale moonlight shone through the window, and Lin Zhen gently exhaled, completing another round of cultivation.
“That’s enough. From now on, I will cultivate during the day and take action at night!”
After tidying up, Lin Zhen jumped out of the window for the first time in the dark night.
After leaving his house, Lin Zhen did not choose to move at a high altitude, as doing so under the moonlight would be courting death, as he could be discovered by Dragons and Vampire Bats in the sky.
Only the pitch-black alleys and complex houses provided the best cover.
“I am currently in the Northwest City District, aka the Wolfman territory, with their stronghold at the sports stadium. I will head to the Prosperous Garden tonight. Many Martial Artists like to take action there, where there are a lot of Black Warriors. So, not only can I kill undead creatures, but I can also kill people.”
Summoning Light Annihilation as his flying mount, Lin Zhen flew three meters above the ground, silently crossing the streets, heading towards the Prosperous Garden Square.
Lin Zhen was not the only one who was active at night. Most Martial Artists preferred to come out during this time. A successful night of action could yield results equivalent to three days of daytime work.
It was just like in an online game. Many players enjoyed fighting, but even more, solo wanderers preferred killing monsters on their own or with a few friends.
Martial Artists were also human, and there was not much difference between real life and games.
However, one should always be careful when “farming” monsters, especially around malicious PKers like Lin Zhen.
After flying a dozen kilometers, Lin Zhen suddenly stopped.
He saw two Martial Artists leaping up and down at the corner of a street, working together to attack an Undead Wild Bull.
The bull was as big as an elephant, and its blood-red eyes shone brightly even in the darkness. It stomped on the ground, creating black and red flames, a sign of undead creatures.
Both of the Martial Artists were World Kings with excellent coordination and fierce attacks. The wild bull was almost at its end.
A sly smile appeared on Lin Zhen’s lips as he stepped on the Light Annihilation platform and rushed forward at an extremely high speed!
Kill people! Rob monsters!
Lin Zhen’s Points were over seventy thousand, and one such wild bull had nearly a thousand Points, qualifying as a high-level undead creature. Whether killing people or monsters, it was profitable.
When the two Martial Artists were about to win, they suddenly noticed Lin Zhen rushing towards them. They instantly became agitated like provoked cats.
“Shit! Lin Heizi, you dare to rob our monsters?”
Lin Zhen couldn’t see clearly from a distance, but when he got close, he saw that these two people were actually Wolfman’s direct subordinates, junior brothers!
Their presence here showed that the Wolfman was not far away. Even if he was not around, most people would not dare to mess with these two, as the king of the Northwest City District was the Wolfman.
Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment: “Wolfman’s subordinates!”
“You better know that. Although the Divine Punishment Star requires constant fighting, no one can be arrogant enough to kill without restraint. Once the boundaries are open, you will still need to choose a powerful leader to follow. Wolfman is among the top ten in this district. In fact, you have already made his blacklist. He is just not interested in you yet because of your low ranking. If you continue to be arrogant, you will die without knowing how!”
“Oh! I made his blacklist?”
“Hahaha! You don’t know yet, huh? But I’ve heard that you only got the Divine Punishment Star quota by seducing a Grand Imperial Concubine from Nan Liang. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even qualify to be here. Although I admire your courage to cuckold the emperor, those Imperial Concubines are old women who have already given birth to many children. To think you can actually lower yourself to hook up with them! Hahaha! How does it feel to crawl under their skirts? If you want to join Wolfman’s team, you have to follow my rules in front of me….”
Lin Zhen’s face darkened a bit.
He hadn’t expected there to be such a rumor, and it had even involved a Grand Imperial Concubine, making the story even more ridiculous.
He didn’t know who had started the rumor, but the only advantage was that it wouldn’t hurt Xuan’er too much.
However, the man’s mouth was too foul, and Lin Zhen hated such scum.
Lin Zhen turned his foot, and the speed of the Light Annihilation platform accelerated once again. He raised his hand and fired the Seven Stars Knife at the man who had been jeering: “This is for your foul mouth!”
The Seven Stars Knife was imbued with Space Power. The moment the Ice Knife flew out, it already reached the chest of the Martial Artist. He had no time to react.
However, this Martial Artist was quite capable. Among the 68 districts, he was ranked within the top 10,000. Seeing the flying knife coming, he miraculously clasped his hands together and caught Lin Zhen’s flying knife with a “Child Pays Respect to Guanyin” move!
“Lin Zhen! Don’t think we’re just some rookie Martial Artists for you to slaughter! Your flying knives are nothing more than… than… just… this!”
As the Martial Artist spoke, his mouth was already stuttering, shivering from the cold.
His hands were already coated with a thick layer of solid ice. Lin Zhen’s Seven Stars Knife was not just a simple flying knife, but a hidden weapon with powerful energy elements. This knife contained a temperature of nearly minus two hundred degrees. It was not something that could be touched!
Seeing his companion in such a state, the other Martial Artist made a decisive move, launching a series of long-range attacks at Lin Zhen and diving into the darkness, fleeing for his life!
Once a Level 9 World King was determined to escape, it was not an easy task to chase him in the darkness.
Lin Zhen brandished the long spear in his hand, killing the rushing Undead Wild Bull with a single thrust, and then dealt a finishing blow to the martial artist trapped in ice.
“I’m not really interested in the name ‘Wolfman’ anymore. His only purpose in my life is to be a stepping stone on my path. As for you, you must be a martial artist from Nan Liang. I’ve decided to confront you when I return to the real world, making you pay the price for insulting me and the one I love!”
He stabbed his spear repeatedly, aiming for the youngster’s lower body each time. It wouldn’t kill him immediately, but it certainly caused him immeasurable pain!
The martial artist screamed in agony, initially hoping that someone would save him. But in the end, he tried to self-detonate, only to be eliminated by Lin Zhen right before the explosion.
This wasn’t the virtual world; Lin Zhen owed no responsibility for leeches sustaining light injuries. The half of the martial artist’s body that Lin Zhen had pierced with his spear needed proper treatment.
Once the martial artist was eliminated, Lin Zhen’s ranking jumped up again, landing him in the 6,900 range.
“I was originally ranked around 10,000, so this kid was probably somewhere around 6,000. I got half of the points he had, which made me climb up significantly, directly entering the top 7,000.”
However, Lin Zhen didn’t stay in the area for long. Although a showdown with the Wolfman might be inevitable, he wasn’t going to exhaust himself hunting him down. It was time for the Wolfman to come looking for him.
********
The other person who had been with the eliminated martial artist managed to escape. After leaving, he ran desperately towards a tall building.
That was the location of the Wolfman’s hunt tonight. His target was a Giant Zombie King, and tonight’s mission was to kill it.
Upon arriving and reporting the incident, he saw the Wolfman at the entrance of the Zombie King’s lair. However, the Wolfman’s mission wasn’t going smoothly – he was facing off against someone.
The Wolfman had brought along dozens of people, but he hadn’t expected to encounter an enemy.”
The enemy was a lone red-haired youth holding a long sword. Standing right in front of the entrance to the Zombie King’s lair, the youth smirked coldly as he single-handedly blocked the path of the entire Wolfman party.
The Wolfman had long, unkempt hair, a protruding mouth, a tall, skinny frame, and slender arms. His eyes emitted a faint green glow in the dark night, making him look more terrifying than a ghost.
If he crouched down and had denser fur, he could even pass off as a man-eating giant wolf!
He wasn’t a Galaxy Beast bloodline, but rather a purebred member of the Wolf Clan.
“What? Little Guang was eliminated?” A sultry woman next to the Wolfman, wearing metallic patches on her breasts and a black leather miniskirt, exclaimed in shock.
She was the Wolfman’s lover, a temporary acquaintance they made in the Divine Punishment Star. She was a Level Nine World King with the bloodline of an Advanced Galaxy Beast – the Demon Spider. People called her Black Widow, and she was a top hundred expert in the entire sixty-eight districts.
Little Guang was the martial artist killed by Lin Zhen, and Black Widow’s brother. Their brother and sister duo were assigned to the same district by coincidence, much to their surprise.
After arriving here, Black Widow got involved with the Wolfman, causing her brother’s status to rise as well, making him arrogant and domineering. However, he was eliminated by Lin Zhen.
“Yes, big sister-in-law. Brother Guang was eliminated by a guy named Lin Zhen. And when I was escaping, I saw Lin Zhen stabbing Brother Guang with his spear without mercy. That guy was so arrogant that even after Brother Guang left the Divine Punishment Star, I think he was still miserable!”
“Then why the hell did you come back?” Black Widow changed her expression. Suddenly, with a wave of her hand, countless spider silks shot out from her body, binding the martial artist tightly!
A thin, tube-like organ emerged from her mouth and pierced the martial artist’s abdomen.
“You abandoned my brother and escaped on your own. I’ll suck you dry, alive!”
The martial artist wrapped in spider silk could no longer bear it. He tried to self-detonate.
But before he could self-detonate, the Wolfman moved quickly, landing a blow on the martial artist’s chest.
A flash of blue light, and he was eliminated.
The Wolfman retracted his hand resentfully: “Damn divine light protection, or else I’d have been able to snatch a fresh, beating heart.”
After saying this, he turned his attention to the red-haired youth called Luo Fei: “Luo Fei, as the brother-in-law, I can’t just stand by and let my brother-in-law be eliminated. I won’t fight you for this Zombie King, let’s meet again some other time.”
“Hmph! You know what’s good for you!”
Luo Fei withdrew his sword and watched as the Wolfman, Black Widow, and their party disappeared into the distance.
As one of the ten top experts, although he was confident in himself, he didn’t want to take on the Wolfman and his large group of people. It was best if the other party retreated willingly.
He entered the Zombie King’s lair with his sword, anticipating a great harvest tonight.
“Lin Zhen… another one daring to pull the tiger’s whiskers. I hope he’s not some rash youngster, making a brief appearance before promptly falling.”
