Chapter 735: Chapter 738: Comprehension of Sword Intent, Death! (Eight more updates! Extra update for 1500 monthly tickets!)

The battle within the palace was full of twists and turns, leaving the spectators somewhat stunned.

Iron Granny had the edge in Star Power and even possessed two spiritual treasures. It seemed that she had this battle in the bag. However, it was surprising that Lin Zhen’s three Destructive God Thunders managed to obliterate Iron Granny’s defensive spiritual treasures.

But the battle did not tip in Lin Zhen’s favor. Iron Granny had lived for over a hundred thousand years and her combat experience was incomparably rich. Knowing that it had come to a life-and-death moment, she chose close combat to prevent Lin Zhen from using his final deadly move.

Lin Zhen had no more Destructive God Thunders left, and transforming into the Black Hole Beast also required some time and space. But Iron Granny’s combat strategy precisely countered him. He could not teleport away or transform. The battle was difficult!

Sword light flashed everywhere, continuously inflicting injuries on Lin Zhen. He was unable to turn the tables for the time being.

If this continued, he was in danger!

*********

Inside the palace, Liang Zhihuan, observing this scene, finally relaxed.

“Hahaha! Lin Zhen! You finally met your doom! Not only will you die today, but you will also lose to me in the competition for the queen. I’m going to consummate my marriage with the queen now. Let’s see what you can do?”

Liang Zhihuan turned and reached out to Ning Qingxuan, who was sitting at the side.

Both of them had finished their baths, and all the irrelevant people had been dismissed. No one would interrupt them now.

But Ning Qingxuan shrank back her hand, “Your Majesty, please behave yourself.”

“What? What did you say?”

Liang Zhihuan was taken aback for a moment, showing an angry expression on his face: “At this point, you are telling me to behave myself? Do you still have any unbearable memories in your heart? Don’t forget your identity, you are my queen. Your master is on the verge of killing Lin Zhen, and yet you’re giving me this? Aren’t you afraid that your master will blame you later?”

Ning Qingxuan looked at Liang Zhihuan with her beautiful eyes: “No, I don’t remember anything from the past few hundred years. Lin Zhen outside there is very unfamiliar to me. But I reject you because of your actions.”

“My actions? Aren’t I good to you?” Liang Zhihuan was angry.

“No, it’s not about me, but your subjects. I’ve seen your actions. You let billions of people attack Lin Zhen, regardless of the life and death of your subjects, leading to the death of four billion people in the volcano. Just because of this, you are not worthy of being an emperor!”

Ning Qingxuan’s reprimand left Liang Zhihuan dumbfounded.

He was only concerned about dealing with Lin Zhen and had overlooked a very important thing, that is, he did not consider Ning Qingxuan in the process.

You must know, Ning Qingxuan is a person who truly upholds justice. Even though she has lost her memory, her nature has not changed.

All this fell into her eyes, and it would be difficult to gain her forgiveness now.

Liang Zhihuan had the intention to force her, but how dare he do so. Although Ning Qingxuan did not take action, she held the actual power of a Three Flowers Realm martial artist, even stronger than Iron Granny outside.

What he could do now was only to wait for Iron Granny to kill Lin Zhen. As long as Lin Zhen died, there was still hope to turn things around. At least, Ning Qingxuan was not helping Lin Zhen against Iron Granny now.

*********

Lin Zhen was in a crisis like never before.

After the breakthrough, his strength soared. If he had a weapon, he wouldn’t be afraid to face Iron Granny, even having a high chance of winning.

But just one divine sword changed the situation of the battle.

Even if he had a weapon now, it would be useless. Without a spiritual-grade weapon, he couldn’t resist Sky-cutting.

Iron Granny had pushed her offensive to its limits. Each sword was faster than the last, attacking tens of thousands of times in a single second. This was an attack at the speed of light!

“Lin Zhen! Stop struggling! It’s useless. Before I chop you into mince, I will not give you a chance to breathe. You have a resilient body, let’s see how long you can hold up!”

Injuries were healing quickly, but new ones appeared even faster. All Lin Zhen could do now was to dodge and dodge again.

Not allowing Iron Granny to strike a fatal blow, or cut off his limbs, was the only thing he could do.

“Hahaha! Are you done yet? You have no weapon, but I have a sword. The gap between victory and defeat is often as simple as that. If you don’t die within ten seconds, I will take my own life!”

Iron Granny’s desperate attack finally showed its effect. Although she was also seriously injured by the Destructive God Thunder, she was still able to press on with the sharp edge of her weapon.

Lin Zhen dodge mechanically, yet no one noticed that he was slowly closing his eyes at this moment.

Iron Granny’s attack was fierce, but as long as he was not chopped into pieces, he wouldn’t die instantly.

Iron Granny’s words, like the sound of morning and evening bells, heavily pounded in his heart.

Iron Granny had a sword, yet he had no sword.

But…Who wrote the rule that one must lose without a sword?

The knowledge he had acquired from Peace Martial Arts Hall previously surfaced in his mind.

Li Mo said to him: “Su Qing’an, what you lack is the understanding of the sword, the true understanding of it. No sword in hand, but sword in heart! As long as the sword intent in your heart is everlasting, then the weapon is not that important.”

“Although weapons are good, ultimately, it’s people who wield them. The moment you understand this, the moment you grasp the sword intent, and then you can learn superior sword skills.”

With his eyes closed, Lin Zhen was quietly murmuring.

“No sword in hand…..sword in heart….. I understand!”

“Everyone has a hidden divine weapon in their hearts, but very few people can bring it out. Among the people I’ve seen, only Li Mo, this insignificant person, has aroused the sword intent.”

“Where is the sword? The sword is in the heart, the sword is in the hand! As long as I want to use it, it will appear!”

A thought, like thunder cutting through the night sky, flashed through Lin Zhen’s mind.

He was deeply impressed with Qin Jianfeng’s natural Spirit Sword Body during their battle on the Divine Punishment Star.

As a warrior of the Imperial Clan, Qin Jianfeng had an extraordinary talent. The two sword Qi ejected from his hands had limitless power, and their movements once forced Lin Zhen into retreat.

If it wasn’t for Xuan’er unsealing his Divine Needle, allowing him to perform the Black Hole Beast transformation, he would have not been a match for Qin Jianfeng.

However, what Qin Jianfeng possessed was a natural Spirit Sword Body, while what Lin Zhen had just comprehended was sword intent!

He needed to borrow it, borrow Qin Jianfeng’s method, to bring out the sword intent from his palm!

This realization was but a mere moment!

Iron Granny had already drawn her sword once again, and with her piercing voice, she roared: “Cut!”

A streak of sword light swept across the sky!

In her eyes, Lin Zhen would certainly evade this sword. Once he did, she would execute her chain of sword techniques once more, and she should be able to completely subdue him.

However, Lin Zhen did not evade it. Instead, his body twisted similarly, his right hand waving, and he swung out a single hand.

In that instant, the secret of the Death Sword Skill was clear in his chest!

“So this is Death! The tomb of the Longevity Realm!”

“Old witch! It’s over, Death!”

“Cut~!”

With a roar like dragons roaring and tigers howling, the eardrums of the people vibrated.

Yet something even more terrifying happened!

Iron Granny’s sword sliced across Lin Zhen’s waist, nearly severing him in half!

If her sword edge had moved a little further, Lin Zhen would’ve been sliced in two by that sword.

Even if Lin Zhen had the Immortal Spiritual Body, to recover from being severed in half would not be a simple matter. The surrounding soldiers would swarm him, and Lin Zhen would probably be chopped into minced meat instantly.

Unfortunately for her, she could not move any further.

Because from Lin Zhen’s swinging right arm, shockingly, emerged a golden light sword measuring up to five meters!

That light sword was larger and longer – before she could step further, it swept across like a massive force!

This sword struck Iron Granny. The mighty Peak of Longevity Realm martial artist was slain on the spot by a Third Level World King. Her decapitated head spun in the air, then fell to the ground!

Blood sprang from the headless body. Iron Granny stumbled, then suddenly fell!

Falling along with Iron Granny were a great tree behind her and a group of palaces in the distance!

It was as if space was cut off somehow, and all the scenery broke uniformly, the cut surface smooth as a mirror!

No ripped space spectacle, no hint of a smoke scent, this was the essence of the sword! This was Death!

Clang!

The Sky-cutting Divine Sword fell to the ground. Lin Zhen lifted his hand and collected the Sky-cutting into his bag.

No matter what, this was an unparalleled divine weapon, and it now belongs to Lin Zhen.

The wound on his body began to heal quickly as Lin Zhen’s gaze swept over to the crowd in the distance.

As sharp as a knife, his gaze made numerous people retreat step by step, until they finally turned their heads and ran away with a scream!

The imperial army, who were supposed to be protecting the Emperor, abandoned him and fled at such a crucial time!

Lin Zhen did not chase after them. Instead, he took a step forward, hovering in mid-air, before appearing inside the Hidden Moon Palace in the next moment.

Inside the room, the wind was lightly sweeping, the curtains swaying. Liang Zhihuan and Ning Qingxuan both stood on opposite sides, each to their own side.

Seeing Lin Zhen enter, Liang Zhihuan’s legs couldn’t help but tremble at that moment.

This Lin Zhen is too terrifying – he actually killed Iron Granny. If the top figure in Nan Liang’s Longevity Realm has been defeated, who else can stop him?

That’s right! There’s still the queen!

Liang Zhihuan urgently shouted to Ning Qingxuan: “Queen! This is the man who deceived you, who deceived me, the executioner Butcher. Kill him for me!”

Seeing that Ning Qingxuan was unharmed, Lin Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to step forward, Ning Qingxuan suddenly stood before Lin Zhen.

“You can’t kill him, he is the emperor, and… and.. also my husband.”

Listening to Ning Qingxuan’s soft voice, Lin Zhen was stunned: “Xuan’er, don’t you recognize me at all?”

Ning Qingxuan shook her head slightly, “Not at all. You better stop the killing now, or I’ll have to take action.”

Seeing this scene, Liang Zhihuan, who had been downcast, suddenly brightened up. He realized the strongest person was right beside him. If the queen made a move, Lin Zhen was certain to die!

His hatred for Lin Zhen was enormous. He had to document Lin Zhen’s death, so at this moment, he decided to start broadcasting.

He recorded Lin Zhen’s death and provided an ending to this event.

But in the next moment, Lin Zhen’s actions exceeded his imagination.

Lin Zhen didn’t move himself, but walked up to Ning Qingxuan, completely disregarding her warning gaze, and held this extraordinary beauty in his arms.

Ning Qingxuan didn’t know why, but perhaps she felt that Lin Zhen wouldn’t hurt her, so she just stood there dumbfounded as she was held.

Just as she was about to struggle and counterattack, she heard Lin Zhen whisper in her ear: “Do you remember this embrace?”

Ning Qingxuan’s raised jade hand suddenly paused in mid-air, time seemed to freeze.

Lin Zhen lowered his head to look at Ning Qingxuan’s delicate face, feeling the warmth of the soft body in his arms, he felt that all his efforts and sacrifices were worth it at this moment.

Having her in his arms was more beautiful than the lanterns’ light after countless turns of the head.

Perhaps the next moment when Ning Qingxuan came back to her senses, she would turn against him, but at this moment, Lin Zhen decisively kissed the tempting cherry lips!

Only Liang Zhihuan was standing beside them, recording this scene in a daze, broadcasting it into the Dimensional Universe. His eyes, which were supposed to see a colorful world, only sensed darkness!
