Chapter 695 - 698: Disappearing on the Spot
Over there, La Moti and Holy Word were leaning against a destroyed house, panting heavily among the ruins and rubble, but no one dared to approach them.
They all saw that Lin Zhen was nearly done for. If they could catch up to him and kill him, they would gain a large number of points, and the chance to cultivate the Divine Body would no longer be a dream.
For the chance to cultivate the Divine Body, these martial artists were willing to do anything.
Although Lin Zhen had teleported away, there were too many martial artists here. They all started making phone calls to their friends, asking them to find a hero flag martial artist to see if Lin Zhen had gone to that battle zone.
There were a hundred battle zones in every continent and four hundred in the four continents. There were seventy or eighty thousand martial artists gathered here alone. With their friends searching all over the place, Lin Zhen had nowhere to run!
Moreover, Lin Zhen had killed too many hero flags in this battle, and the hero flags from other battle zones were also reluctant to let Lin Zhen go.
Soon, news came back.
“Lin Zhen is in battle zone one of the Western Continent!”
A large group of martial artists began teleporting to the Western Continent. Although teleporting between continents consumed half of their points, many of them didn’t have too many points to begin with, and as long as they killed Lin Zhen, everything would be worth it.
*********
In battle zone one of the Western Continent, Lin Zhen appeared randomly in a city and immediately headed for the teleportation array.
He was lucky that the place he appeared wasn’t far from the teleportation array, and it took time for others to search for him. Before a large group of martial artists arrived to hunt him down, he teleported again.
Once again, he spent half of his points to go to the Northern Continent!
He knew that he couldn’t stay put at the moment. If he did, there would be no escape.
On the map, he could even see some hero flag martial artists rushing towards the teleportation array.
His body felt a wave of weakness and powerlessness, and the feeling of losing strength made Lin Zhen extremely uncomfortable.
After killing the Secret Sect’s Four Gods, Lin Zhen had entered the top twenty of the Points Ranking, but after teleporting between continents twice, he had fallen out of the top two hundred!
It wasn’t over yet. Upon arriving in the Northern Continent, he went to the teleportation array and waited. Soon, more martial artists came after him.
He teleported again, from battle zone one to battle zone eleven!
His points were reduced by another tenth.
Soon, more people came to hunt him down. Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and teleported from battle zone eleven to battle zone one hundred.
Five minutes later, Lin Zhen teleported again, this time directly to the Southern Continent.
He would rather spend all his points than let go of the pursuers. As long as he stayed alive as long as possible, there was a chance of safety!
**********
In the Nan Liang Imperial Palace, Laxia quietly watched Lin Zhen’s situation.
Since Lin Zhen’s situation was being broadcasted throughout the territory of Nan Liang, everyone in Nan Liang could see it. Laxia and Liang Zhihuan, of course, could also see Lin Zhen’s situation.
He saw it, La Moti saw it, and then La Moti informed others to chase Lin Zhen. So no matter how hard Lin Zhen tried to run, he could never escape their sight!
Only a martial artist of the Canon Clan could cheat in such a way.
“This kid can really run. In such a short time, he’s already gone through three continents. But it’s almost over for him. His ranking has dropped to over ten thousand, and after a little more running, he’ll have no points left. Let’s see how he runs then?”
Liang Zhihuan nodded slightly at the side: “That’s right. You can follow the number I gave you and contact our Nan Liang martial artists in the Divine Punishment Star to command them to hunt down Lin Zhen.”
“Alright, but after the successful hunt, don’t forget the money you promised me.”
“Don’t worry. As the emperor, I still have some credibility.”
As Laxia watched Lin Zhen’s fleeing route, La Moti informed the people of Nan Liang in the Divine Punishment Star.
These people were under Liang Zhihuan’s command, having already received orders. Now, under the command of La Moti, they would obey unconditionally as long as La Moti gave the secret code.
*********
More and more martial artists were left behind by Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen was too cunning, never staying in one place for too long. In their pursuit, many of them had barely caught a glimpse of his shadow, and their points were almost exhausted.
Many people calmed down and felt that chasing Lin Zhen wasn’t their job, gradually giving up.
However, there were still a group of people who could always catch up with Lin Zhen the fastest. As soon as Lin Zhen arrived somewhere, they would be there soon after. Lin Zhen was even once intercepted by them. If it wasn’t for his barely usable spiritual power, he would have been doomed.
The people chasing him had no national or battle zone markings, having been covered up, so it was impossible to tell where they were from.
But instinctively, Lin Zhen felt that these people were from Nan Liang since people from other countries didn’t need to cover up.
Although he didn’t know what had gone wrong, it no longer mattered. The important thing was that Lin Zhen’s points were about to run out.
Currently, his points were at two, ranking him at the very bottom of the entire Divine Punishment Star’s leaderboard!
Lin Zhen’s Points Ranking: 430 million and more! Last place!
After teleporting once more, Lin Zhen returned to the Eastern Continent, and his points dropped to one.
“Only one point left, can I still teleport?”
Lin Zhen practically crawled onto the shield, arriving at the teleportation formation in Eastern Continent’s third war zone.
Soon, he saw the pursuers appear again, with several masked people blocking his path.
“Hehe! Lin Zhen, why aren’t you running anymore? Out of points, huh?”
“Where do you think you can run? Our brothers take turns chasing you, easily depleting your points. Lin Zhen, your mistake is being too arrogant, offending those you shouldn’t have. You think having some combat power allows you to do whatever you want? There are countless people who can easily kill you.”
“You should be grateful that this is Divine Punishment Star; otherwise, it would be you dying instead of just being eliminated.”
Looking at the approaching Martial Artists, Lin Zhen took a deep breath.
“I know who you answer to, but please tell Liang Zhihuan that he will never get what he wants!”
“What nonsense are you talking about! What does Liang Zhihuan have to do with us?” The Martial Artist tried to conceal it.
Lin Zhen sneered, and a burst of Spiritual Power suddenly erupted, tearing apart the cloth covering the Martial Artist’s chest, revealing the Nan Liang emblem inside.
“Teleport!”
Lin Zhen was trying one last time, unsure if his last point would be enough for teleportation. However, he was already at his wits’ end and would be eliminated if he didn’t give it a shot.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen’s last point disappeared, turning his points into zero, and he vanished into the teleportation formation once again!
Several Nan Liang Martial Artists stood there dumbfounded, waiting for La Moti’s phone call, but it never came.
Inside the Original World, all images related to Lin Zhen suddenly disappeared.
No one could find Lin Zhen’s whereabouts, not knowing where he had gone.
But according to the overall ranking, Lin Zhen was still at the bottom, the previous zero-point man still at zero, holding onto the last place with no one able to shake him.
Some Martial Artists tried Lin Zhen’s method, attempting to teleport with their last point, but found out that they couldn’t leave without any points to deduct, so they couldn’t go anywhere.
No one knew where Lin Zhen had gone; he had just vanished.
In contrast, the People of Nan Liang’s online forum exploded!
His Majesty the Emperor personally sent people to chase and kill his own citizens. It was obvious that those who had been notified were closely following Lin Zhen’s footsteps, hiding their faces and chests on purpose, knowing that they could be seen by the outside world.
At first, people were afraid to speak up, but now the masses were agitated.
“Damn it! What the hell is going on? Why would our Emperor chase and kill Lin Zhen?”
“Hahaha! What am I seeing? This is a huge joke! Is there a monarch who doesn’t want heroes to emerge from his country? Lin Zhen is doing so well in there, instead of helping him, you’re chasing and killing him. Is something wrong with your brain?”
“It’s really chilling. The heroes of Divine Punishment Star are fighting for their lives, and the emperor is stabbing them in the back over here.”
“This never happened during the reign of the old emperor. Why is there such a huge difference between the two generations of father and son?”
“Lin Zhen even saved your son! Doesn’t your conscience hurt?”
“Is it true, as the rumors say, that our green-clouded emperor can’t bear it any longer?”
The trouble with such matters is that someone needs to speak up first. When the first person comes forward against the Emperor, others will follow. Some people may be the Emperor’s political opponents with ulterior motives, but most are just disgusted.
Nan Liang finally had such a genius appear, so why did the emperor want to kill him? Even if there were some personal grievances, they shouldn’t come out at this critical moment.
The royal court was in a panic. Liang Zhihuan, the emperor, was now the first emperor in Nan Liang’s history to be at the center of public outcry.
Large numbers of moderators came online, trying to remove posts and block public opinion, but they couldn’t truly stifle it.
Many groups supporting Lin Zhen emerged among the people, demanding an explanation from the emperor.
These groups had powerful supporters, and their momentum was unstoppable. It was impossible to resolve the situation.
At this point, Liang Zhihuan didn’t dare release any negative news about Lin Zhen, because Lin Zhen’s whereabouts were unknown. Releasing negative news now could lead to backlash.
The only way was to take it one step at a time and eliminate Lin Zhen from the fight.
Although Lin Zhen was currently in last place, Liang Zhihuan was not at ease. He wanted to know where Lin Zhen had gone.
However, no one knew. In the entire Divine Punishment Star, everyone else’s situation could be seen, but Lin Zhen seemed to have vaporized from the face of the earth, completely disappearing from any continent or war zone, yet he had never truly left the Divine Punishment Star.
