Chapter 164: Section 165: I’m okay


    “Lord Zhenjin, abandon me, remember my last wish!” Cang Xu shouted against the strong wind.


    Zi Di also said, “Zhenjin, let go of me, you’ll be a bit faster.”


    “What a joke, I am a Holy Temple Knight. Big guy, run to the front, catch them!” Zhenjin bellowed.


    The big guy paused momentarily, then saw Zhenjin vigorously swing his arms, unexpectedly hurling Zi Di and Cang Xu out.


    His strength was immense, Zi Di and Cang Xu drew a parabola in the air, crossing over the final distance of the battlefield, and finally moving ahead of Jia Sha and his men.


    The big guy instinctively dashed forward, took a dozen steps, then lunged forward with outstretched arms, crashing to the ground, and caught Zi Di and Cang Xu in a startlingly close call.


    ...


    “That was reckless!”


    “How did they fly over?!”


    Several Guardian Knights nearly got knocked over by the big guy, dodging to the side, eyes wide and mouths agape.


    “Lord Zhenjin!!” Zi Di and Cang Xu stood up, looking back anxiously, only to see another huge wound had been added to Zhenjin’s body, with blood flowing.


    “Dad, watch out behind you!” After catching Zi Di and Cang Xu, the big guy quickly turned around, only to see a giant golem about to collide with Zhenjin, his eyes filled with fury.


    He broke into a run again, intending to go back to help Zhenjin.


    But seizing the opportunity, Jia Sha cast a Divine Art, and the big guy’s speed suddenly became incredibly slow.


    “Bad guy, you’re messing with us!” The big guy roared at Jia Sha, his eyes brimming with chilling murderous intent.


    Jia Sha glared at him and shouted harshly, “Idiot, if you go back now, you’ll only make things worse for him!”


    “Come on.” Meanwhile, Zhenjin suddenly turned around, facing the giant golem head-on.


    He crossed his arms in front of his chest, like a shield.


    The next moment, the giant golem crashed directly into Zhenjin. sea??h thё N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.


    With a bang, Zhenjin was sent flying, even faster than Zi Di and Cang Xu before, soaring over the heads of Jia Sha and the others, to come in first place.


    After landing, Zhenjin rolled a few times and quickly stood up, simultaneously reverting back from his transformed state.


    Before the severe pain could hit him, Zhenjin’s arms were numb, completely deformed, with bones utterly shattered.


    Zhenjin shouted to Jia Sha and the others, “Run! They’re coming out!”


    Jia Sha hurriedly cast Divine Arts on everyone, accelerating their pace.


    The giant golem soon stopped the chase because Zhenjin, Jia Sha, and the others had entered the passage.


    The passage was narrow, not something the golem could fit through.


    The golem’s speed was also very slow, quickly falling behind Zhenjin and the rest.


    The exterminator was the largest threat.


    However, Jia Sha began to cast Divine Arts in succession, and after several rounds of Divine Arts, the exterminator was forced to reveal its tracks, and everyone’s crossbow arrows began to fire back.


    Before long, the exterminators that chased after were all annihilated.


    The situation was stabilized!


    “We’ve made it through this battlefield,” the Guardian Knights cheered, but the cheers soon quieted down, replaced by expressions of sorrow.


    Only four Guardian Knights remained. One had sacrificed himself to cover for Jia Sha during their escape.


    “There are still many people trapped inside; I will go rescue them out.” Zhenjin hurried back to the battlefield, and during this time, his arms had healed.


    “Lord Zhenjin!” Zi Di spoke up, trying to stop him, but it was too late.


    The big guy wanted to follow but was again stopped by Jia Sha.


    Zhenjin once again transformed into the scorpion armor giant, his hands mutated into Spider Blades, wrapped with strands of electric sparks.


    “Divine Favored Knight!”


    “Lord Zhenjin, it’s you!”


    “Thank you, you saved my life!!”


    With the help of Zhenjin, several comrades, who were about to fall at the final stretch, were aided.


    In this state, Zhenjin could face the golems head-on.


    As for the exterminators, Zhenjin still couldn’t detect them, but he had noticed that every time an exterminator attempted to attack him, a warning would arise in his heart.


    Using these warnings, Zhenjin’s dodges were successful most of the time.


    But even so, evading usually only changed what would have been a fatal blow into an injury.


    Soon, Zhenjin was covered in blood.


    “Lord Zhenjin…”


    “He is a true hero!!”


    Inside the passage, everyone watched Zhenjin’s blood-soaked, valiant figure, all deeply moved.


    Jia Sha looked on quietly at the distant Zhenjin, deep in thought.


    “Ah, with such a look, Jia Sha must have noticed something’s wrong. After this battle, I should come clean,” thought Zhenjin.


    He might have deceived others, but not Jia Sha, being the Holy Emperor’s priest.


    “The number of Fire Elements is rapidly decreasing. Luckily, that giant golem hasn’t targeted me and continues its massive slaughter of the Fire Elements.”


    “Who else needs my help?”


    Zhenjin quickly scanned his surroundings.


    Suddenly, his gaze narrowed at the sight of footprints on the ground.


    Human footprints, very fresh, likely a comrade’s.


    Blood stains were beside the footprints.


    “This comrade is injured!”


    Following the footprints, Zhenjin ran to a corner of the battlefield.


    There was a small hillock here, a good hiding place.


    “I’ll save this person and then leave… There’s not much time left for me.” The Fire Elements were completely at a disadvantage; Zhenjin could only do his best to rescue his comrades, not risking himself.


    However, upon reaching this corner of the battlefield, Zhenjin didn’t find his comrade but his heart alarm surged.


    He quickly dodged, a huge wound nearly making a horizontal cut across his back.


    The scorpion shell was paper-thin against such an attack!


    “No ordinary exterminator!”


    Zhenjin couldn’t see the enemy attacking him, but he could discern their strength from the injury he had received. This sharpness was unprecedented!


    Zhenjin couldn’t find the enemy, and Jia Sha was not by his side, a sense of alarm once again arose in his heart, and he immediately fell into a bitter fight.


    At the passage, everyone had been waiting for a long time. Their comrades had not regrouped for a while now, and Zhenjin was also missing.


    The big guy roared, still struggling under the restriction of Divine Arts, “I want to find daddy, let me go, you meanie!”


    “You two go check on Zhenjin, try your best to bring him back!” Jia Sha ordered with difficulty while maintaining the Divine Arts.


    “Yes,” two Guardian Knights took the order and rushed back to the battlefield.


    Complete Mutation!


    Zhenjin, with the head of a lizard, spewed violently from his mouth.


    This time he wasn’t spewing green acid liquid, but the scalding water of the Fat Ball Flying Fish.


    The water vapor spread quickly, turning into dense fog while Zhenjin discharged electricity with all his might!


    The invisible enemy entered the fog and in an instant, sparks flew.


    “Here!” Zhenjin bellowed, his blade slashing wildly.


    The special kind of exterminator moved with exceptional agility, dodging the attack and circling to Zhenjin’s back, fiercely striking toward the back of his head.


    If hit, Zhenjin would die on the spot, as scorpion armor could not provide adequate protection.


    But all this was actually a vulnerability deliberately exposed by Zhenjin.


    The next moment, the scorpion tail behind him stabbed violently, piercing the invisible enemy straight through.


    The exterminator suffered a fatal blow, and the Fan Blades suddenly disintegrated, shooting towards Zhenjin.


    Zhenjin couldn’t dodge in time, his shoulder was pierced by the Fan Blade, and one ear was almost completely cut off, hanging by a thread of skin.


    The scorpion tail spearhead was no longer sharp, almost ground to half.


    And the exterminator was utterly destroyed, revealing its true form.


    “It really is an exterminator! But ordinary exterminators only have three Fan Blades; this one had five.”


    In the dense fog, Zhenjin knelt on the ground.


    The next moment, a red glow emerged, covering the spear tip and the wound.


    The flesh on the ear and shoulder transformed into Strong Life White Rhinoceros, and the wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.


    The nearly broken spearhead was restored to its peak state.


    The dense fog gradually dispersed.


    Suddenly, an odd sound came through.


    “Another exterminator!” Zhenjin’s heart skipped a beat, and like a snake, his scorpion tail viciously stabbed toward the source of the noise.


    Pfft.


    This stab did not feel like it had hit alchemy items but went through flesh and blood.


    Zhenjin’s expression changed drastically.


    He quickly retracted his scorpion tail, and the next moment, he saw a person kneeling on both knees, then falling face-first to the ground.


    “No!” Zhenjin exclaimed, realizing he had accidentally injured a comrade; he hurriedly ran over, knelt down, and held his comrade in his arms.


    A familiar face came into Zhenjin’s view.


    It was Xi Suo!


    “No!” Zhenjin’s pupils constricted sharply, and he let out another low cry, his face full of pain and shock.


    He suddenly remembered, Xi Suo was one of the Scouts this time. And every time the Scouts were dispatched, Jia Sha would cast the Invisibility Divine Technique on them.


    Xi Suo looked at Zhenjin with a look of terror.


    In his eyes, Zhenjin was a monster with a lizard head!


    “You… Beastification… not Divine Favored…”


    Xi Suo spoke with difficulty, blood flowing from his mouth.


    He had been invisible on the side, witnessing the entire process of Zhenjin’s complete mutation in battle.


    A surge went through Zhenjin’s heart, his heartbeat accelerated rapidly, and he immediately explained: “I am still Zhenjin! Rest assured, I am still rational. You will be saved, you will be…”


    Zhenjin comforted Xi Suo while checking his injuries.


    Seeing the injuries, Zhenjin was stunned for a moment.


    Xi Suo’s heart had been pierced by Zhenjin, a fatal wound, and Jia Sha was not by their side!


    “Lord Zhenjin, are you here?” Suddenly, the Guardian Knights’ voices came through.


    Following the footprints Zhenjin had left, the two Guardian Knights arrived at this corner of the battlefield.


    They found Zhenjin.


    He was half-kneeling on the ground, covered in a lot of blood.


    And the parts of the exterminator were scattered on the nearby ground.


    The two Guardian Knights quickly judged that a fierce battle had occurred here.


    “This is no ordinary exterminator!”


    “Lord Zhenjin, are you all right? Can you walk?”


    Zhenjin knelt on the ground, motionless, appearing not to hear their calls, which was odd and worrisome.


    But in the next moment, Zhenjin slowly lifted his head; his eyes were bloodshot, and his voice had turned hoarse.


    “I’m fine.”


    The young man stood up, his expression numb: “I was ambushed here. Let’s go, there are no comrades here…”


    “Then let’s hurry back.”


    “Everyone’s waiting for you.”


    The two Guardian Knights, suspecting nothing, turned and left.


    The Fire Element was almost completely slaughtered, if they didn’t leave soon, they wouldn’t be able to make it out.


    Zhenjin followed close behind.


    A sprinkling of ash quietly fell from between his fingers.
