Chapter 1289: Chapter 1289: The Saint Killing Spear
When Zen finished speaking, Malachi was slightly perplexed, and his sharp eyes, which were as slender as willow leaves, were clouded with confusion.
After all, Zen's words had come out of the blue.
However, the moment he realized what Zen was saying, his entire body suddenly shook, his eyes filling with a strong killing intent.
“You are Zen Luo!”
Malachi was the only son of Supreme Lord Gunter!
Although the Demon Night members were all born strong warriors, they were quite weak when it came to reproduction. That was the main factor that restricted the development of the Demon Night race. Even though Supreme Lord Gunter had many wives, he only had a single descendant, and that was Malachi.
His father's death had been a huge blow to him.
Now that he'd learned that the young man standing in front of him was the one who had killed his father, he realized that he was facing off against his sworn enemy.
Although he had never seen Zen before, he had already imagined countless times in his mind what his enemy was like and he had sworn that he would kill Zen with his own hands in this lifetime!
However, he had never thought that he would encounter Zen in the Illusion Battlefield.
“No way! That guy is Zen?!”
“You mean the guy that killed the four Supreme Lords?”
“By the way, the stories he told through the Roaring Token are really quite interesting…”
“This is going to be exciting! Zen is a warrior of the Soul Sea Realm, so it's not surprising that he has entered the Illusion Battlefield. We're so lucky to see him here.”
“I want to know just how strong this fellow is since he has the ability to kill Supreme Lords.”
When Zen's identity was revealed, it immediately caused heated discussions among the warriors watching from the city walls.
A while ago, everyone had seen this as a fight between two powerful warriors. But most of them had bet on Malachi to win since they were confident that Malachi would make his opponents suffer with his superior strength.
But after finding out that Malachi's opponent was the famous Zen, their views had completely changed. They felt like the tables had turned.
Zen was a legendary warrior. Although his strength was nothing extraordinary, he enjoyed a fame that was perhaps even greater than that of some of the Supreme Lords!
Although there were only 128 Supreme Lords in the supreme worlds, many martial artists could not name all of them. However, when it came to Zen... It was impossible for them not to know him because this fellow had used the Roaring Token to bombard their ears for six whole years! 𝔯𝐚Ŋồ𝐛Еṧ
“Yes, I am Zen Luo.” Zen nodded.
Killing aura immediately soared from Malachi's body. The killing aura condensed into a demon-like form in the air.
“I really didn't expect to meet you in the Illusion Battlefield!” Malachi said as he stared firmly at Zen. His eyes were filled with killing intent as if he wanted to directly pierce through Zen with them. “Unfortunately, this is the Illusion Battlefield. I can't kill you in the real sense…”
Although the killing intent in his eyes was strong, the expression on his face was extremely cautious.
Some people said that Zen had only relied on that mysterious fairy palace to achieve what he was now, and without that, he was just an ordinary warrior who had ascended from the Lower World.
But Malachi had disregarded such rumors as soon as he'd heard them.
'Since this fairy palace possesses the ability to kill Supreme Lords, its legacies aren't something to be trifled with.
Just now when Zen was in the main city, he already knew that I am Supreme Lord Gunter's son, but he didn't tell me his identity. Instead, he exposed his identity after we came out of the main city. It's obvious that he thought that if he'd exposed his identity when we were in the city, I would be afraid and refuse to come out of the main city to fight with him.
Does that mean that I should be actually scared of him? Is he that confident that he has the ability to kill me?'
As these thoughts flashed in his mind, Malachi quickly analyzed the situation.
He wasn't a brainless person, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to become an ace talent. Even the son of a Supreme Lord had to rely on his own talent and hard work if he wanted to become an ace talent of his race.
Therefore, although many of the sons of the Supreme Lords in the universe had outstanding talent, they hadn't been able to become ace talents.
The malicious aura that had emitted from Malachi and loomed in the air like a demon gradually dissipated.
Although Malachi's malicious aura was strong, he did not rely on it to face his enemies. It was only a way for him to vent his emotions.
After he calmed down, the malicious aura from his body dissipated completely. He appeared very composed now.
Although he could not actually kill Zen in the Illusion Battlefield, he knew that this fight would be a rehearsal because the real battle between him and Zen would happen sooner or later.
"You... are very confident.
It's a good thing to have self-confidence. For a warrior who wants to cultivate martial arts, the most important quality to have is a strong warrior spirit.
However, it's foolish to be overconfident!"
Malachi's calm face revealed a cold smile. With a flick of his fingers, two pointed spearheads shot out of his space ring.
It was a spear with a strange shape.
Two snakelike forms, one black and one white, were coiled together to form the shaft of the spear. They wound all the way to the top, where they separated to form two spearheads.
It was a double-pointed spear with two spearheads.
As Zen focused his gaze on this spear with a unique double helix structure, his brows furrowed slightly.
A black and white double helix double-pointed spear…
He remembered hearing about something like this from Lavender.
“Zen, be careful. That is the Saint Killing Spear of the Demon Night,” Hailey, who was on top of the city wall, warned in a low voice.
Hailey wasn't the only one who had recognized the spear. When the other warriors of the Demon Night saw it, their expressions became incomparably solemn.
The Saint Killing Spear...
It was the strongest weapon of the Demon Night.
Since ancient times, the Demon Night had passed it down from one deserving warrior to another. Throughout the years, it had stayed within the top ten ranks of the Universe Spirit Tablet without ever dropping in rank.
This Saint Killing Spear didn't belong to any specific person, not even to Lavender. But according to the rules of the Demon Night, Lavender was the only one who had the right to use this Saint Killing Spear.
But now, Malachi had brought it into the Illusion Battlefield.
The many members of the Demon Night sighed internally.
In the past, this sort of thing would never have happened.
After the Illusion Battlefield opened, many ace talents had indeed borrowed the supreme divine weapons of their races to help them in their battles. For example, Jeffrey had borrowed the Buddha Curse Blade. After all, it was only a projection of the Buddha Curse Blade, so there was no way it could be lost or damaged.
However, the Saint Killing Spear was not just a supreme divine weapon; Like the Saint Thunder Meteor Hammer, it was also a symbol of the supreme identity of the queen of the Demon Night.
The Saint Thunder Meteor Hammer was a symbol of the Queen of Punishment, while the Saint Killing Spear was a symbol of the Queen of Killings.
How could such a treasure be lent to an ace talent?
“Alas, the current Demon Night… is too reckless…”
“Ever since Elena made the move to attack Lavender, the Demon Night race has barely had any respect for the rules.”
“Anyway, the top leaders are the ones who set the rules, and they can change them whenever they want,”
some of the Demon Night members who were watching from the top of the city wall couldn't help but sigh.
Malachi gripped the Saint Killing Spear tightly in his hand. He stared at Zen and said coldly, “I originally wanted to use this Saint Killing Spear to fight against the Godly Geniuses. I never thought that I would use it right now...”
Right now, they were only in the first stage of the Illusion Battlefield, and the battles would only get more and more intense from here on.
As he spoke, he gently waved his long spear and aimed it at Zen. “You should feel proud to be facing off against such a precious weapon!”
Hearing his words, Zen grinned. “It really is a great honor. But this spear doesn't seem to belong to you, does it?”
“Since it is in my hands, of course it belongs to me,” Malachi said proudly with his head held high. As a member of the Demon Night, of course he understood the significance of the Saint Killing Spear.
As Zen stared at the spear, he pondered in his heart, 'What a pity...
If I could get the Saint Killing Spear and use the reward from the Hall of Causality to make a duplicate for Lavender, it would be perfect.'
As he thought of this, Zen slowly took out his longsword from his space ring–the Thunder Wind Divine Sword.
As he moved his longsword, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. “Since you are so shameless to claim that the Demon Night's Saint Killing Spear is yours, then I have nothing to say…”
“If you have nothing to say, then go to perdition!”
At this moment, Malachi attacked without any warning. Although he was confident that he could defeat Zen, he was an aloof and stubborn person. Even if he had the absolute advantage, he would still go all out, especially now that he wasn't sure of Zen's real strength.
He always favored launching surprise attacks.
The Saint Killing Spear suddenly spun around in Malachi's hand, and two cold glints flashed from the two tips of the spear. Then, he thrust the spear toward Zen.
A huge spear shadow appeared from the Saint Killing Spear, crazily circling in the air before shooting toward Zen.
The power hidden within the spear shadow was intimidating. It was as if it could pierce through everything.
This was the most basic cultivation method of the Saint Killing Spear—Shadowy Spin.
“Be careful!” Janet exclaimed from the top of the city wall.
