Inside the interview vehicle, Su Na was live streaming on the internet, constantly uploading segments of videos.
“Dear netizens, dear viewers, the ongoing Zhao Dong event that everyone’s highly concerned about is now happening. At the moment, Lin Zhen is trapped inside the Zhao Dong Building, and there was an intense battle just a while ago.”
In the video, Lin Zhen on the first floor withstood the attacks of three Junior War Generals and killed one of them, then retreated back into the building. Afterwards, more and more fighters gradually arrived, and the video also showed intense fighting happening at the entrance to the stairs.
At the beginning of this video, many netizens expressed their rage and grief.
No one can interfere with what’s happening in Zhao Dong right now; people could only follow Lin Zhen’s fate through the video. But no matter how they look at it, it seems like Lin Zhen has nowhere to escape.
In the beginning, some netizens said that Lin Zhen might soon become history, but the course of events surprised everyone.contemporary romance
Lin Zhen didn’t lose the fight at the staircase. Even under the wild attacks of the martial artists, they couldn’t make Lin Zhen retreat. Of course, the video isn’t clear. Through the snowstorm, netizens could only see Lin Zhen’s feet.
But before they could rejoice, they saw many martial artists start to climb the building, ready to cut off Lin Zhen’s retreat.
“Lin Zhen, run for it!”
“It’s over, it’s over. Now Lin Zhen is getting attacked from both sides. He’s dead for sure!”
“A bunch of lowly cowards, so many people attacking Lin Zhen by himself.
Aren’t you afraid the other martial artists will laugh their teeth off?”
“Don’t act so high and mighty. If you were faced with three billion, would you be indifferent? If I were in Zhao Dong, I’d definitely join in too. If I were lucky enough to kill Lin Zhen, I wouldn’t have to worry about anything for the rest of my life.”
“But Lin Zhen is the hero who defeated the Russians. Has everyone really only got eyes for money now? What’s happened to this society? Pathetic!”
“Hero my foot, Lin Zhen is just a selfish and self-serving person. Can’t wait to see him fall.’
“The SOB above, drop your address. Let’s meet and I will fight you!”
Amidst this heated discussion, Su Na, who was in Zhao Dong, posted the second video.
More martial artists joined the battle against Lin Zhen, including Intermediate War Generals. The video showed the fight had moved to somewhere between the second and third floors, and more martial artists started climbing up, which indicated that Lin Zhen was still holding on.
At the end of the video, teary-eyed Su Na reported,
“As a host, I shouldn’t let my emotions get involved in the show. However, today’s matter isn’t just a show. It’s related to the fate of a promising martial artist. The outside temperature has already dropped to below negative forty degrees. I have no capability to go out and record interviews. I can only stay here and hope that Lin Zhen is safe, even though I know this is a luxury. I hope those who are watching this video, those who can intervene, will do so. Don’t let our heroes shed tears!”
Su Na’s emotional speech earned Lin Zhen a lot of sympathy. Many netizens who were previously uninvolved started paying attention to Lin Zhen’s fate. Many online called for Base City to intervene.
But Base City was just as powerless. The roads were blocked and vehicles couldn’t go through. Even if they sent planes, they probably wouldn’t reach Zhao Dong before being taken down by mutated birds. People’s calls were futile.
Inside Dongfang Jun’s office at Gale Martial Arts Hall, Dongfang Jun stood up in anger after watching the video.
“Audacious! They dared to ambush Lin Zhen like this in the wilderness. If you challenged him fair and square, no one could’ve interfered. But with such low tactics, I can’t just stand by.”
Dongfang Jun had already recommended Lin Zhen’s name to the God Generals Training Camp. He was planning on grooming Lin Zhen as his successor, and he couldn’t just stand by and let Li Tianhao succeed.
Although neither cars nor planes can reach Zhao Dong, Dongfang Jun could.
As a Dark Gold Level Spiritual Mind Master, Dongfang Jun has superior flying abilities. It definitely would not take him more than half an hour to get to Zhao Dong. If he set off now, there might still be hope of saving Lin Zhen.
Just as Dongfang Jun was about to leave the office, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
The person standing at the door was Li Wanfeng and Zhao Siqing.
“Headmaster Dongfang, long time no see. What’s the hurry? Where are you off to?” Li Wanfeng asked Dongfang Jun with a smile.
Dongfang Jun snorted coldly: “You already know your beloved son wants to ambush my Gale disciples, do you actually think I, Dongfang Jun, am a pushover?”
Though Li Wanfeng and Zhao Siqing are not weak among the rank of War God
Martial Artists, Dongfang Jun didn’t care much about them. As both a Level Eight War God and a Dark Gold Level Spiritual Mind Master, there were very few people he feared.
“Of course, Principal Dongfang is no pushover, but we, husband and wife, are here today hoping that you will refrain from meddling in the affairs of the younger generation. Can’t we all just sit here and see how things unfold?”
“Oh! So you two are going to stop me?” Dongfang Jun arrogantly retorted.
“Just the two of us wouldn’t be enough, hence today other friends have joined
us.”
As Li Wanfeng said this, he slightly sidestepped, revealing two more people.
Two principals, Qin Yunfei from Long Wind Martial Arts Academy and Liusu from Dragon Slayer Academy, had also arrived.
“You…Why did you all join in?” Dongfang Jun became uneasy. As principals of the three top martial arts academies in Ice City Base City, both Qin Yunfei and Liusu had strengths quite comparable to Dongfang Jun’s. Although Dongfang Jun believed he could defeat them one-on-one, he was certain he couldn’t win if all of them attacked.
Qin Yunfei laughed, “Principal Dongfang, don’t worry – we aren’t here to fight with you, just to have a discussion.”
“About what?” Dongfang Jun asked.
“By now, I’ve discovered our talented disciple Chen Jingchou was assassinated southeast of Oil City. The assassin was Lin Zhen from your academy. Principal Dongfang, you must know that Chen Jingchou was my intended successor; his death at Lin Zhen’s hands has serious implications.”
Dongfang Jun stayed silent, not doubting Qin Yunfei’s words. If Qin Yunfei dared to say such things, he must have significant evidence proving Lin Zhen’s guilt in this matter.
“In addition to that, three members from our academy’s team – Tie Shan, Zhao
Shenji, and Xu Mao – were all killed by Lin Zhen. He first murdered Xu Mao in Yi Lan, then killed Chen Jingchou in Oil City, followed by the deaths of Tie Shan and Zhao Shenji, who had gone to investigate. I want to know what kind of grudge Long Wind and Lin Zhen have that he keeps committing such atrocious acts?”
After expressing his anger, Qin Yunfei sat down and continued: “This is why I’m here today – with one demand. Principal Dongfang, please do not interfere in this matter. No matter the final result, let’s agree that all grudges between Long Wind and Lin Zhen are settled. But if you insist on interfering, then as a
Martial Artist, I pledge to take Lin Zhen’s life!”
After Qin Yunfei finished speaking, Liusu from Dragon Slayer added: “Lin Zhen attacked Ouyang Yu and Lei Ming from our academy, then assaulted Zhang Huai, and has now killed three of our War Generals in Zhao Dong. Therefore, I must stand with Chairman Li today. I hope, Principal Dongfang, you can calm down and let the younger generation settle this matter. No matter the result, both parties should not bear grudges.”
Having listened to comments from two heavyweight individuals of Long Wind and Dragon Slayer, Li Tianhao and Zhao Siqing also added: “We share the same sentiment and hope Principal Dongfang will consider.”
Dongfang Jun was silent for a while: “And what if Lin Zhen kills your son?”
Li Tianhao scoffed, then said indifferently: “If Lin Zhen is capable enough, then I’ll accept that I, Li Tianhao, have failed as a father.”
Zhao Siqing slightly nodded her head in agreement with her husband’s statement.
However, it was clear to everyone that the couple didn’t believe Lin Zhen was capable of such a thing.
Dongfang Jun took a deep breath, addressing the four War Gods: “No, your sons’ lives cannot be compared to Lin Zhen’s. Even if you four try to stop me, I must go to Zhao Dong. If you’re adamant about obstructing me, then go ahead, and let’s see if I, Dongfang Jun, fear your alliance!”
After Dongfang Jun finished speaking, he was ready to act, his body filled with Dark Gold light.
Making this decision required great resolution from Dongfang Jun. The odds of defeating the four War Gods working together were next to zero, but Lin Zhen was too important to him. He preferred to risk everything, even wagering on the possibility that the four wouldn’t dare to harm him here in Gale.
The four glanced at each other. Li Wanfeng sighed, “You are indeed Principal Dongfang – your strength and courage are truly admirable – but please take a look at this.”
With that, a letter appeared in Li Wanfeng’s hand. He gave the letter a flick, and it flew towards Dongfang Jun.
As Dongfang Jun received and opened the letter, he was immediately shocked by the signature.
There were only a few words on it: “Please, Principal Dongfang, refrain from interfering in the Zhao Dong incident. – Allen.”
Then there was just a symbol of a cross, nothing else.
“This… this is a letter from the Great Divine Sect!” Dongfang Jun’s face changed dramatically.
“Correct, Principal Dongfang, you may not fear us four, but maybe you should consider the opinion of the Great Divine Sect? Remember, there’s a Star Realm Warrior over there!” Li Wanfeng gleefully sat back down, looking extremely satisfied..
