Chapter 353 A Near-Death Attack, Lingering Killing Intent
But Gao Kezi had already closed in, his palms aimed at his chest.
This time, Liu Lingzhen was unable to completely avoid it.
Gao Kezi sent him flying, crashing into a broken pillar.
He coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his vision went black.
Gao Kezi stood where he had just been standing, panting, and said, "Liu Lingzhen, your energy is exhausted, and you have nowhere to retreat."
Liu Lingzhen stood up, leaning against the broken pillar. The wound on his side made every movement excruciatingly painful.
He watched as Wu Baihan's troops moved again in the distance, and gritted his teeth: "Not necessarily."
He suddenly rushed toward the nearest Nestor.
Nestor was terrified by his actions.
He realized what was happening and immediately started backing away quickly.
Liu Lingzhen, however, did not chase after him, but instead used the momentum to leap onto the palace wall.
"Stop him!" Gao Kezi shouted, and took the lead in chasing after him.
Liu Lingzhen stood on the palace wall, gazing at the night outside, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.
He glanced back at Gao Kezi, who was catching up, and the other Great Yuan Realm experts who followed behind.
He took a deep breath, leaped off the palace wall, and ran away into the distance.
Gao Kezi followed closely behind, leaping down and unleashing another palm strike towards him.
"Where do you think you're going!"
Liu Lingzhen waved her right hand, knocking away Gao Kezi's energy, and then used the force to rush out again.
He knew he couldn't hold out much longer and had to get rid of them as soon as possible.
The night wind whipped up his blood-stained robes, and the shouts of Gu Xuanchao's soldiers could be heard in the distance, but he left them far behind.
Gao Kezi pursued closely, and the two remained within a few feet of each other.
He watched Liu Lingzhen's retreating figure, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
He never expected that it would only be a short twenty-odd years since they last met.
He has grown to this level of strength, which makes him admire him.
"Liu Lingzhen, stay!"
Gao Kezi accelerated again, the force of his palm almost touching his back.
Liu Lingzhen suddenly turned around and condensed her last bit of energy, throwing it at Gao Kezi.
Gao Kezi quickly stepped aside to avoid it.
Liu Lingzhen turned and rushed into the woods on the right.
Liu Lingzhen staggered into the dense forest, pursued relentlessly by the sounds of iron cavalry and shouts of battle.
He had just entered the woods when a sharp shout shattered the silence.
"Fire arrows!"
In an instant, a dense rain of arrows pierced the air, passing through the gaps in the branches and leaves, and shot straight toward him with a whooshing sound.
Liu Lingzhen forcefully summoned the remaining vital energy within her body, dodging left and right among the shadows of the trees, her staggering figure maintaining its speed.
However, the wounds on his body still slowed him down.
Although he deflected or dodged many of the arrows.
Two arrows still managed to wound him; one pierced his left shoulder, drawing a string of blood beads.
Another arrow pierced his right leg, the arrowhead penetrating about an inch deep, causing him to groan and nearly collapse.
"Liu Lingzhen, you can't escape!"
Gao Kezi's voice came from behind him instantly, carrying an undeniable sense of pressure.
He hurried after them, stepping on the fallen leaves, his vital energy flowing in his palms, clearly ready for a decisive battle.
Liu Lingzhen steadied himself by holding onto a large tree beside him. He then pulled out the arrow from his left chest with his right hand.
The sudden pain in his chest almost made him lose his balance.
He looked up at Gao Kezi, a blood-stained, cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Escape? That's something only the weak do. Today I'll show you whether I, the king, will run away!"
"He's someone important."
Gao Kezi stopped and looked at his still bleeding chest and right leg.
"But you must save your life today."
"If you're so capable, come and take it yourself!"
Liu Lingzhen suddenly pulled the arrow out of her leg, and blood gushed out instantly.
But he ignored it and instead focused his energy back into his hands, assuming a fighting stance.
Seeing this, Gao Kezi said no more. In a flash, he closed in and his palm struck Liu Lingzhen’s chest.
Liu Lingzhen blocked with her left arm, and the battle between the two broke out once again.
A muffled thud.
Liu Lingzhen was jolted back three steps, her left arm went numb, and her wound reopened.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from the side, and Chao Keda rushed over, wielding his twin hammers.
At this moment, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes burned with the flames of revenge.
That's because he woke up to find Serle's body.
He knew it was Liu Lingzhen's doing, and seeing the two locked in fierce combat, he roared and swung his hammer.
"Liu Lingzhen! Pay with your life!"
The two hammers, carrying immense force and accompanied by the sound of wind, slammed into Liu Lingzhen's back.
Liu Lingzhen was entangled by Gao Kezi and had no time to turn around to defend herself, so she could only dodge his attack to the left.
Despite this, Liu Lingzhen's right arm was still shaken so badly by Chao Keda's double hammers that the bones in his right arm were on the verge of cracking.
The sharp pain in his shoulder made him groan softly.
"Now!"
Gao Kezi seized the opening and unleashed both palms simultaneously, the energy in his palms transforming into a giant hand that struck Liu Lingzhen hard in the chest.
Liu Lingzhen was in excruciating pain in her right arm and could not exert any strength, so she could only use her left hand to hastily defend herself.
The moment the two forces collided, he felt a violent force surge into his body, as if his internal organs had been displaced.
With a "pfft," he spat out a mouthful of blood.
He was knocked backward and flew through the air, crashing through five or six large trees before finally landing on the ground, where he remained motionless.
Chao Keda gasped for breath: "Is he dead?"
He stepped forward, carrying his two hammers, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
Upon seeing this, the warriors of Gu Xuanchao erupted in thunderous cheers.
"Elder Gao is invincible! Elder Gao is invincible!"
Niceta followed, limping.
Looking at Liu Lingzhen, who was lying motionless on the ground, a twisted smile appeared on his face.
The humiliation of being outmaneuvered by Liu Lingzhen's scheme has now transformed into the pleasure of revenge.
He pushed through the crowd and walked triumphantly toward Liu Lingzhen.
"Liu Lingzhen of Ling Kingdom is only this strong, yet we still managed to defeat her!"
Let me check for myself to see if you're really dead!
He bent down and reached out to check Liu Lingzhen's breath when the person on the ground suddenly opened their eyes!
There was no trace of death in those eyes, only a chilling killing intent.
Liu Lingzhen's palm, imbued with the last vestige of his vital energy, slammed into Nice's chest.
"you……"
Nice was completely taken aback; he never expected that Liu Lingzhen would use feigning death to launch a sneak attack on him.
The excruciating pain of the palm strike piercing his chest was so intense that he didn't even have time to scream before he was sent flying backwards, hurtling straight at Gao Kezi.
Gao Kezi's pupils contracted sharply, but he still subconsciously reached out to catch Naistai.
The power within Kenes was too violent.
The moment he caught the person, he felt a tremendous force and was forced to stagger back two zhang before regaining his balance.
Gao Kezi looked down at the Nicete in his hand.
But he was already dead, and his chest had caved in, clearly indicating that his internal organs were completely shattered.
"A monarch of a nation would actually resort to such despicable means!"
