Chapter 483: Chapter 483: One Strike Decides Life and Death!

Translator: 549690339

The pirates on the Permanent Crystal Battleship were on tenterhooks as they watched the battle.

They had originally thought that this would be a scenic and uneventful journey of destruction, but things had gotten off to a bad start. Lin Zhen was unexpectedly powerful, able to go head-to-head with a Star System Term expert.

Only when Xilanke gained an advantage did their hearts relax a bit.

Facing the transformed Xilanke, Lin Zhen did not panic.

An advantage didn’t necessarily mean victory.

With a thought, his doppelganger, who had been hiding in the Dark Star Space, finally appeared.

Upon appearing, the doppelganger didn’t hesitate and immediately joined the fight with the Cliff Corner Spear in hand.

Lin Zhen’s real body and the doppelganger’s combined attack technique were already perfected, and the two, with their combined Star Power of 300, managed to nullify Xilanke’s dominance.

The two spears were like stormy wind and heavy rain. No, they were even swifter and fiercer than a real storm, quickly turning the tables.

“As expected, you have a doppelganger, Lin Zhen. Is this your hidden trump card?”

Xilanke was not discomposed by the appearance of Lin Zhen’s doppelganger; everything had been within his expectations. Before the fight, he had done thorough research on Lin Zhen, and Tianci had also informed him that Lin Zhen had a doppelganger whose power was equal to that of the main body, so Xilanke was quite cautious.

Xilanke believed he had known both his own and his enemy’s capabilities, so he was not afraid of Lin Zhen’s doppelganger.

Ice and Fierce Fire two long knives were used, not the doppelganger, but also possessed the ability to fight simultaneously with two people.

Moreover, Lin Zhen found that Xilanke’s use of both hands with knives was no worse than using one.

The previously overturned situation quickly became passive again.

“Hahaha! Lin Zhen, do you think my Ice-Fire Double-headed Dragon transformation only lets me manipulate ice and fire? Both of my hands have equal power. This talent is actually similar to the doppelganger technique, so your doppelganger won’t gain any advantage!”

Xilanke swung his two wide-bladed knives. Lin Zhen’s main body and doppelganger had to synchronize their actions to counter him. However, if they were even a little separate, the opponent’s double-knives would combine and strike, putting them in peril.

It turned out that Xilanke had been holding back, only revealing his true power after Lin Zhen’s doppelganger had appeared!

“Warning! Warning! Master, be careful! Xilanke’s Star Power has been constantly increasing after his transformation, and it is approaching a value of 500!”

Chris issued a timely warning to Lin Zhen.

“No wonder it’s so difficult; I underestimated my Star System opponent.”

As Lin Zhen waved his twin spears, it became increasingly difficult to fend off the attacks. At that moment, he finally understood the true power of the Star System level.

Because he had just broken through that level, he hadn’t had time to fight against a Star System opponent in the simulation field. Unexpectedly, his first battle would be an authentic showdown.

By this point, Lin Zhen had no choice but to reveal his own trump cards.

Immovable like a mountain, Phantom God Strike, Thunder Kill, Meteor Fall – all kinds of spear techniques were employed to their fullest extent. Although they were at a disadvantage, they still posed a significant threat to Xilanke.

However, an absolute gap in strength could not be made up for by a few simple techniques. Besides, as a Star System-level fighter, Xilanke also had many secret skills.

As the battle continued, Lin Zhen’s disadvantage became increasingly apparent!

By the time Xilanke’s ice blade struck Lin Zhen’s doppelganger, the situation seemed irreversible!

In the midst of his malevolent laughter, Xilanke launched one swift attack after another.

His attack strategy became clear: he aimed fierce thrusts at Lin Zhen’s main body. His Ice and Fierce Fire swordsmanship was indeed challenging. Lin Zhen’s main body was that of a Black Hole Beast, a Fire Kirin mutant. He had strong resistance to flames, but the extreme coldness was somewhat uncomfortable for him.

The coldness of the ice was close to minus 200 degrees Celsius, which was tens of degrees colder than a night on Pluto.

Xilanke saw the effectiveness of the ice and increased the rate of his Freezing air release, making Lin Zhen’s battle even more difficult.

While attempting to assist the main body, the doppelganger’s torso was sliced open by a knife, leaving a large wound.

Seeing the situation, the pirates aboard the battleship cheered loudly, preparing to celebrate the victory of the battle.

Once they defeated Lin Zhen, more than half of the journey in the Solar Domain would be over. Although there were many remaining enemies, they would have no resistance in front of the Star-System-level fighter.

Gazing at the increasingly arrogant Xilanke, Lin Zhen felt it was time for the final showdown.

Doppelganger Armorization!

A layer of fiery red scales covered the doppelganger, concealing its wounds.

Both the real body and the doppelganger triggered their Star Power at once, with their whole body dazzling and radiating blinding light.

“Xilanke, let’s settle this once and for all!”

After the doppelganger’s armorization, the fighting power of the real body and the doppelganger increased again. Lin Zhen seemed to go all in, launching a fierce assault on Xilanke without any regard for the consequences.

Xilanke, who was nearly two thousand years old, had extensive fighting experience. Seeing Lin Zhen’s offensive, he knew Lin would resort to desperate measures. This attack would probably be the final struggle, and all he had to do was fend it off to ensure victory.

Xilanke’s strategy was not flawed, but Lin Zhen had been waiting for this opportunity.

The real body and doppelganger simultaneously attacked from the front.

The Yin-Yang Spear and the Cliff Corner Spear, like two intertwined serpents, aimed at Xilanke’s vital points. Unstoppable martial techniques were engaged, and the offensive power increased exponentially!

“Cling-clang, cling-clang!”

Xilanke retreated steadily while blocking the attack effortlessly with his double knives. At that moment, his Star Power had reached nearly 500, and he feared no assault from Lin Zhen.

Whoosh!

The real body and doppelganger crossed paths, appearing blurred and seemingly spring-loaded.

For a moment, Xilanke felt as if his vision blurred.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Amid the continuous crisscrossing and the flurry of spear flashes, Lin Zhen’s real body and doppelganger closed in on Xilanke within striking distance.

“Lin Zhen! Stop playing these childish tricks, do you really think you can deceive me!”

With the sudden acceleration of the double knives, the power of the Star System Stage was revealed at this moment. His speed with the knives far exceeded Lin Zhen’s speed with the spear, no matter how much Lin Zhen tried to distract him, he could easily block and dodge.

You may have a thousand clever strategies, but as long as my speed is above yours, your spear techniques and footwork are useless.

Time acceleration!

The Yin-Yang Spear suddenly accelerated, striking Xilanke’s throat with ten times the speed.

“Buzz~!”

Still blocked it!

Lin Zhen’s face turned ashen. He didn’t expect Xilanke’s strength to be so strong that he could actually withstand his time-accelerated attack while weaving through his steps.

“Haha! So you really do have the ability to accelerate time. Tianci didn’t lie to me, but Lin Zhen, you’re too naive. Although I’m far beyond your realm, if I weren’t cautious enough, I would have been dead long ago and turned into rotten bones. You think I underestimated you? No, no, no! That was just a ruse. You can’t match me in terms of skill and mental prowess, even if you train for another thousand years. But I won’t give you that chance!”

“I don’t believe it! Die for me!”

Lin Zhen let out a furious roar, his clone attacked again, using time acceleration and the Cliff Corner Spear’s Meteor Fall!

Xilanke’s face darkened: “I told you it’s useless!”

Wielding his double knives, it seemed Lin Zhen had exhausted his tricks, and Xilanke prepared to end the battle.

At this moment, if you looked from the front, you would see three people standing in a straight line, with the clone in the middle, Lin Zhen at the back, and Xilanke in front.

And from the side, you would see Lin Zhen’s real body and his clone attacking simultaneously.

The clone attacked from the front, while the real body aimed his spear at his own clone!

From Xilanke’s angle, he couldn’t see the real body’s attack at all.

The clone rushed forward, with a do-or-die momentum, and the Cliff Corner Spear fiercely stabbed out.

“Get lost!”

Xilanke flicked his double knives upwards, preparing to finish off the troublesome clone first.

Puff~!

A splash of blood blossomed from the clone’s chest as time accelerated once more!

Lin Zhen actually stabbed his own clone in the chest, using his clone as a shield while carrying out such an inconceivable attack on Xilanke!

This attack was entirely unexpected by Xilanke, who never would have imagined that Lin Zhen was so ruthless and decisive. Lin Zhen didn’t care about the life of the clone and still tried to plot against him.

Seeing the cold gleam of the spear tip penetrating the clone’s chest, Xilanke scrambled to dodge.

Although this attack was strange, it was still not enough to hit him, even with time acceleration.

However, at that moment, he saw the cold smile in the eyes of the clone.

Mental Demonic Shock!

Lin Zhen’s Mental Demonic Shock directly bombarded Xilanke’s mind!

“Ah, this won’t slow me down either, because I have two heads!”

One head was affected, but Xilanke’s Double-headed Dragon clone could still control his body and dodge.

But then the most unimaginable thing that could change the course of the battle happened.

Around Xilanke, space seemed to coagulate.

He saw himself slowly raising his hand, slowly taking a step, and slowly making dodging motions.

On the other hand, the spear tip that had pierced through Lin Zhen’s clone’s chest approached him at lightning speed!

With his opponent accelerating tenfold and himself decelerating tenfold, the situation quickly turned against him!

Even with his Star System Stage abilities, he couldn’t avoid this ambush.

The spear penetrated his throat, and blood splattered!

Xilanke wasn’t without means to save his life, even with a pierced throat, he still had a way to survive, but Lin Zhen wouldn’t give him the chance.

The deep night sky enveloped Xilanke’s surroundings, with countless stars emerging.

Tianhe Star Explosion~~~!!!!!

A series of massive and dazzling fireworks began to explode, causing all of Xilanke’s subsequent moves to be held back.

His armor shattered, his body began to fall apart, and his spirit started to blur.

He truly couldn’t accept it. He was at the Star System Stage!

There had never been a case in history where a Constant Star Stage could kill a Star System Stage, but Lin Zhen had done it.

Xilanke died with his eyes wide open, unable to accept his defeat.

It wasn’t his strength that he lost to, but his mental strategy.

He never expected Lin Zhen’s pretense of weakness and luring the enemy in, let alone Lin Zhen’s decisiveness in attacking his own clone, and he never expected Lin Zhen to have the time deceleration ability.

Lin Zhen looked at Xilanke being shattered in the sky and said expressionlessly: “Xilanke, you are too reliant on your own strength. All calculations are useless in the face of absolute power, but when the gap in strength isn’t that great, wisdom is also a decisive factor.”

“You have lived for nearly two thousand years, actually… so have I.”

With the Galaxy Domain dispersed, Xilanke died!
