Chapter 1588 - 1589: Standoff Between Two Nations
Harry hid at the back, originally intending to use Zeus as a shield, so he was unprepared.
He never expected that Lin Chen would bypass Zeus and charge directly at him.
By the time Harry realized Lin Chen was in front of him, it was too late to escape.
Blood splattered as the sword in Lin Chen's hand pierced straight into his chest.
Thud!
Another martial arts powerhouse fell just like that.
Beside him, Zhang Yu and the martial artists were all stunned.
They had never imagined that Lin Chen's strength would be this formidable.
Seeing Harry lying in a pool of blood, Zeus was utterly terrified.
It was known that Harry's strength was comparable to his own, possessing a demigod's peak power.
Yet for Lin Chen to kill such a strong man was as easy as crushing a chicken or dog.
At this moment, Zeus was truly afraid.
He was just a step away from the God Realm; achieving it would grant immortality. If he died now, everything would vanish into nothingness.
"Lin Chen, let's end this here. I can guarantee that our Holy See will no longer be enemies with China's martial arts." Zeus spoke solemnly.
"Stop? You're thinking too simply. From the moment you stepped into China, today's outcome was already determined. From the instant you attacked the Chinese martial artists, your deaths were inevitable." Lin Chen said coldly.
After speaking, Lin Chen's body turned into a bolt of lightning, suddenly appearing in front of Zeus. Before Zeus could react, Lin Chen had already pierced his heart, causing him to collapse.
However, something Lin Chen didn't anticipate occurred: when Zeus died, his body didn't fall into a pool of blood as others did, but instead turned into scattered points of golden light.
This is!
Seeing the dispersed golden light, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.
This was merely a Primordial Spirit.
Almost simultaneously, a cold voice came from the void: "Lin Chen, you destroyed my Primordial Spirit. I will settle this score with you properly."
This is!
Lin Chen looked at the void, his expression becoming exceedingly grave.
It seemed he had unintentionally provoked a significant figure this time.
At this moment, the entire Wudang Mountain was silent.
Almost simultaneously, several beams of golden light swiftly approached from the foot of the mountain.
The newcomers were none other than Zhang Sanfeng, Li Chunfeng, and other Chinese martial arts powerhouses.
Seeing the scene before their eyes, everyone, too, showed an incredulous look in their eyes.
So many martial arts powerhouses from around the world joined forces, yet even they had a tough battle; unexpectedly, Lin Chen resolved it with ease alone.
The only possibility was that Lin Chen had advanced to God Realm cultivation to defeat so many powerhouses.
Zhang Sanfeng approached Lin Chen and cupped his fists toward him: "Brother Lin, thanks to you, otherwise Wudang would have faced a catastrophe."
Lin Chen nodded: "We are all Chinese martial artists; we are essentially a family."
Li Chunfeng's gaze was icy: "These bastards dared to declare war directly on us Chinese."
Lin Chen frowned: "The reason these people attacked us must have been instructed by Yuan Tiangang. He didn't appear this time, which means there must be a bigger plot."
At this moment, a voice suddenly spoke in Lin Chen's mind: "Lin Chen, the situation is dire!"
"What's going on?" Lin Chen asked.
The voice continued: "Recently, a submarine from country E on a mission was suddenly attacked in international waters. According to the video received, it seems to be done by country M's warships. Now both sides have gathered forces in the open sea, and they have deployed nuclear submarines, indicating they might go to war."
"What?" Hearing this, Lin Chen's expression changed.
Both country E and country M are nuclear powers on Earth. If they genuinely engage in conflict, it would result in a nuclear war.
If a world war breaks out with current national powers, the number of deaths would be unimaginable.
"Damn it! Yuan Tiangang's real aim was to divert attention." Lin Chen's gaze turned cold.
He finally understood why Yuan Tiangang used such a deceptive trick, uniting martial artists from various countries to annihilate China.
Now he finally knew Yuan Tiangang's goal was to lure him into China while planning a bigger scheme.
"We must immediately head to the Pacific." Lin Chen said gravely.
Dragon Elder nodded: "I will arrange helicopters and warships immediately."
On the Pacific Ocean, country M's and country E's warships were on high alert.
On a country M aircraft carrier, the Defense Minister Andre held a telescope.
"Everyone, get ready for high alert. If country E's warships cross the red line, we will retaliate." Andre said solemnly.
"Yes, but if we open fire, it will certainly lead to a world war." The aircraft carrier captain said with some concern.
"This is a war instigated by country E. We must defend our dignity." Andre said sternly.
At this moment, the captain couldn't have imagined that the Defense Minister before him was a fake.
Then, a helicopter slowly descended, and from it stepped an elderly man in a leather jacket.
Andre and the captain quickly approached him.
"Mr. President, why have you come here personally? It's very dangerous here." The captain said solemnly.
"I must be with my soldiers," Dolan said gravely.
This Dolan, of course, wasn't real; he was Yuan Tiangang, the mastermind behind the plot.
"What's the current situation?" Dolan asked gravely.
"Right now, country E's warships are near our territorial waters. Once they cross the line, we will attack." Andre said seriously.
At this moment, country E's warship formation was also on high tension.
Then, suddenly, country E's commander received a satellite phone call.
"Mr. President, we are ready for combat. Just waiting for your command to attack." The commander said sternly.
Currently, all of country E was in a state of extreme anger, as their submarine had been sunk by country M's ships right in front of everyone.
This was clearly a provocation. Country E is known worldwide for its warrior spirit; they couldn't possibly back down.
"We have some new information; do not initiate the attack yet." The president's voice came through from the other end.
"Why, Mr. President? Our soldiers are ready." The commander said gravely.
"China provided us with some new intelligence we must verify." The president replied.
The commander hung up and immediately gave the order.
"Have all fleets stop advancing." The commander ordered.
On Country M's aircraft carrier, the captain let out a sigh of relief seeing country E's warships halt.
Even as a soldier, he didn't want to start a war with country E.
After all, warfare results in casualties, which is a scenario nobody wishes to see.
"Minister, country E's warships have stopped advancing." The captain reported to Andre.
"What?" Upon hearing this, Andre frowned and looked at the person impersonating Dolan next to him.
Yuan Tiangang's face displayed a sinister smile: "Stop advancing? You're too naive; they'll definitely attack us."
