Chapter 1142 The Mechanism is Broken!
"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"
Nine faint, almost inaudible sounds, like the slicing of silk threads by a sharp blade, suddenly rang out at the same moment!
Those nine silver needles, as if they had eyes, severed the nine main lines of different colors with an accuracy that mortals could not comprehend at all, in the same instant!
Not the slightest deviation!
There wasn't the slightest delay!
And in that one-thousandth of a second when those nine main lines were cut off!
Lin Zhen's left thumb, adorned with the black jade thumb ring, had already struck the golden main sensor line connected to the blue crystal with the precision of a black lightning bolt!
"Zi-"
A soft sound, like an electric current being cut off, rang out!
The blue crystal, which had been pulsating rhythmically with Kong Zhiqian's heartbeat, suddenly flashed intensely at that moment!
Then, all the lights went out instantly!
The entire underground space fell into a deathly silence in that instant.
Time seems to have frozen.
Everyone stared wide-eyed, held their breath, and felt their hearts pounding in their throats.
They looked at Lin Zhen, at his left hand that was still pressed into the groove.
one second.
two seconds.
three seconds.
……
The anticipated massive explosion did not occur.
The entire underground space remained deathly silent.
Only in the distance could one hear Kong Zhiqian's heavy breathing, like a broken bellows, caused by extreme shock and fear.
"Is it...successful?"
Someone asked in a trembling, dreamlike voice.
"boom--"
These words were like a spark, instantly igniting a frenzy of joy in everyone's hearts!
"It worked! We succeeded!"
"Your Highness! You've succeeded!"
"May Heaven bless the Great Qian! May Heaven bless His Majesty!"
The immense joy of surviving the ordeal overwhelmed all the Night Owl assassins!
They could no longer control themselves, cheering and shouting excitedly. Many tough men even shed hot tears on the spot!
They won!
Following their prince, they once again created an impossible miracle!
They snatched the entire city of Chang'an back from the clutches of the King of Hell!
However, just as everyone was immersed in ecstasy...
Lin Zhen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!
"puff--"
The mouthful of blood was swift and violent, staining the ground in front of him red.
He seemed to have all his strength drained away, and his body went limp and he fell backward.
"Your Majesty!"
The ghost closest to him was terrified by this sudden scene!
He rushed forward and quickly supported Lin Zhen's swaying body.
"Your Highness! How are you?!"
His voice was filled with undisguised panic and fear.
"I...I'm fine..."
Lin Zhen waved his hand, his face as pale as a sheet of paper, without a trace of blood.
His left hand was still trembling slightly, uncontrollably.
That move just now seemed smooth and seamless, done in one go.
But only he himself knew how much pressure he had endured in that short, less than a breath!
That's more than just a test of the limits of technology and speed.
Even more so, it is the ultimate destruction of the mind and will!
To ensure that one percent of a breath is perfectly synchronized.
Almost instantly, he burned all his energy, spirit, and vitality to the extreme!
That kind of exertion is far more terrifying than him fighting a life-or-death battle with someone for three hundred rounds!
He felt as if his body had been completely hollowed out, with no strength left in his body.
She could barely stand.
"Quickly! Help the prince to sit down!"
"The imperial physician! Where is the imperial physician?!"
The surrounding "night owls" also snapped out of their euphoria and scrambled to surround him.
"Don't...don't panic..."
Lin Zhen leaned against the ghostly figure, breathing heavily. His voice was weak, yet it still carried an undeniable air of authority.
"I told you... I'm fine... I'm just... exhausted... I just need to rest... and I'll be fine..."
He glanced at the blue crystal that had been completely extinguished.
He glanced again at Kong Zhiqian, who was tied to the valve in the distance, completely stunned by his extreme shock and failure.
A relieved smile finally appeared on his lips.
Won.
This time, we really won.
“Kong Zhiqian…”
He looked at his lifelong enemy, who had completely lost all his energy and spirit.
Although his voice was weak, it was filled with the pride of a victor.
Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?
Kong Zhiqian did not answer.
He just stared blankly at Lin Zhen.
Those eyes, once filled with madness, resentment, and wisdom, are now nothing but empty, lifeless ashes.
He didn't understand.
He really couldn't understand it.
why?
Why is this happening?
His plan was perfect!
His predicament was clearly unsolvable!
How could anyone in this world possibly crack it in such an inconceivable way?
This is unreasonable!
This doesn't make sense to any of the mechanical arts he knows!
unless……
Unless this man isn't even human!
He's a monster!
A complete monster!
"puff--"
A mouthful of black, foul-smelling blood suddenly spurted from Kong Zhiqian's mouth!
His heart, already riddled with holes from hatred and madness, finally succumbed to this final and heaviest blow!
It's completely shattered!
His head drooped limply.
The last glimmer of light in his eyes vanished completely.
This stirred up a storm throughout the world.
This peerless ruthless strategist terrified the entire Great Qian Dynasty.
This is the lifelong enemy who has repeatedly put Lin Zhen and Murong Yan in dire straits.
Finally at this moment.
He himself orchestrated the most perfect deadly trap.
And Lin Zhen's miraculous, earth-shattering attack.
I was so angry I almost died.
……
When Lin Zhen, supported by Ghost Shadow and a group of "Night Owls," emerged from that dark and damp underground space.
The sky was beginning to lighten with the first hint of dawn.
A new day is about to begin.
Lin Zhen watched the sunrise slowly rising from the horizon.
Feel that warm, hopeful light.
I felt that my heart, which had been tense for a whole month, could finally be completely relaxed at this moment.
he knows.
everything is over.
Those demons and monsters hiding in the darkness.
Those nightmares that had haunted them for far too long.
Finally, it all vanished into thin air.
A brand new, bright era that truly belongs to him and Yan'er.
coming soon.
He turned his head and glanced at the still brightly lit palace behind him.
A gentle smile slowly crept onto her lips.
"Yan'er, I'm back."
