Lin Zhen hadn't bargained for Golden Peng recovering his strength so quickly. Besides, his ruthless attack was pretty surprising too.
He gave up on Lin Zhen and first attacked Sunflower Scar, not only effectively dealing with one problem but also inflicting a heavy mental blow on Lin Zhen.
Regardless of the final outcome of this battle, the death of Sunflower Scar would undoubtedly become a haunting obsession in Lin Zhen's mind, causing him shrink away from advancing forward through the pain.
Even if Golden Peng couldn't defeat Lin Zhen afterward, it wouldn't matter as the arrival of Eternal Mountain would provide an escape. Lin Zhen wouldn't give chase, believing that Lin Zhen would certainly be after the Sovereign God Crystal.
Even if he got the Sovereign God Crystal, Lin Zhen, with his current state of mind, would find it hard to absorb and refine it. After all, he was still a quasi-sovereign.
