From Cellar to Throne: Zen's Quest for Immortality

Chapter 25 Freedom (Part One)



Since Evil Lan had been half-step into the nature level, he reacted promptly to danger. Faced with an oncoming punch from Zen, he pedaled his feet and quickly flew back to elude the blow.

However, Zen was quicker. His fist made contact with Evil Lan's body. Since Evil Lan had moved backward, the movement had offset some of the power from Zen. Upon impact, however, Evil Lan's face suddenly became red, veins throbbed on his forehead, and his blood rushed around. Evil Lan spat out the blood pooling in his mouth. He stared at Zen before saying, "You are still alive!"

"Well, thanks to you, I am not dead yet!" Zen replied. With fists clenched, Zen remained outwardly composed. However, his chest heaved with the effort to control the fear surging through him. Zen had just stepped into the organ refining level, and he could withstand a weight of 3000 pounds. Moreover, with the dragon scale on the cyan dragon relief, his strength could be tripled. Since he had planned to catch Evil Lan off-guard, Zen's punch carried almost all of his full strength.

He hadn't expected that Evil Lan would react so promptly. He had almost avoided being hit by Zens punch.

Evil Lan was even more shocked than Zen. "This young man is just at the beginning of the organ refining level. Logically, my strength is superior to him. I should have no trouble killing him. But his strength increased rapidly after he emerged from the weapon refining furnace. Could this be human refining? What is going on?’ Evil Lan frowned in confusion as he thought about what had just happened.

What was more, Evil Lan had been burning him for twenty hours. That was nearly a whole day and a night. After twenty hours of weapon refining, Zen thought that Evil Lan’s strength might have diminished and he would be like a spent arrow.

The moment the two men were about to fight head-on, Evil Lan moved aside quickly, his body drawing an arc in the air. And then he brought down his arm, as swiftly and precisely as a sword. "Flame Sword!"

"Ping!"

Evil Lan was indeed strong and powerful since he had been half-step into the nature level. His attack was also fueled with the burning power of his life fire. His hand tore open a crack in Zen's skin like a sword would do.

They both were shocked!

What surprised Evil Lan was that Zen's body was unusually hard. Evil Lan's attack had managed to open only a crack on Zen's skin! From what he could remember, even the bodies of special races on the savage land were not as hard as Zen's. His Flame Sword contained the strength of his fire. The force he used could rive the muscles of iron.

But the moment that his sword cut through Zen's body and touched Zen's bones, a sound like that of steel colliding could be heard. "What happened? Is the young man’s body a mysterious weapon?’ thought Evil Lan.

What surprised Zen was that Evil Lan had been agile enough to escape. No matter how hard Zen tried, he could not even capture Evil Lan's shadow. This frustrated Zen.0OO
