When Life Takes a Turn – Chapter 1469

The biggest difference between an invincibilis fighter and a master fighter was in their life spans. It allowed a person to live indefinitely…

The first thing that came into Zayn’s mind were the words ‘body swap’!

It was because he knew that there was a limit to a human being’s life span, and it was just a part of nature’s law. No matter how well a human preserved themself, they could not fight against time.

A living being needed to eat and metabolize. Cells would age eventually, and the body would gradually lose its ability to function.

For all his martial arts prowess, Zayn could still feel that his body was aging every day.

Theoretically, his life span could stretch to two centuries, but that was his limit!

Even so, The Saint claimed that an invincibilis fighter was immortal. What could that mean?

Zayn could not think of another reason for being summoned other than to be used in a body swap with The Saint!

The only immortal creature known on Earth was the jellyfish, and even that not immortal in the true sense. After living for a long time, it could split itself and form a new organism.

It was said that The Saint had already lived for close to two hundred years. Moreover, in recent decades, he spent most of his days in isolated training and almost never showed himself to the world.

When Ezra was sent to Mount Leo to harvest Aeon Karpos, he did it on the order of The Saint, the reason being that Aeon Karpos could strengthen a person’s life essence.

It was quite apparent that The Saint had already reached the end of a human being’s life span. On the other hand, being an invincibilis fighter allowed him to perform astral projection.

Having summoned Zayn to his residence, was it not because he wished to perform a body swap? He was aware that Zayn was an unparalleled genius and a gifted martial artist.

Moreover, he also knew that Zayn consumed Aeon Karpos… The Saint did not execute him after he had committed such a serious crime and had even promoted him to the position of Southern Highlord.

It was truly unusual that he would do all that. With all those factors combined, Zayn could not help but fear the worst!

Hence, he felt a chill down his spine and goosebumps all over his skin. He clenched his fists tightly in secret, and his mind was extremely tense!

‘What should I do? What should I do?’ Zayn’s brain was working wildly, his heart was racing, and his body temperature had spiked as well.

If The Saint was determined to swap bodies with him, what could he do and how could he escape? Zayn pondered for a long time, yet he still could not figure out a way.

He wanted to run instinctively, but logic was telling him that he would not be able to escape even if he were to run.

Moreover, The Saint had yet to make a move on him. If he were to run, he might make the situation worse!

Meanwhile, The Saint’s voice was heard once again. Moreover, the voice was not echoing from above the palace anymore! Instead, it came from right next to his ears!

“Why haven’t you run away?”

Zayn’s mind was blown by the voice. His entire body was covered in goosebumps and he trembled ferociously. He felt an intense urge to turn around and flee.

However, he fought the urge to do so. He would cope with such unusual events by sticking to his fundamental principle.

“Your Majesty, I don’t understand, what do you mean?” Zayn calmed himself quickly.

Firstly, he was certain about one thing. He could not possibly escape from the palace by running. Moreover, he had yet to confirm that The Saint was planning for a body swap.

“Hah-hah-hah-hah…”

All of a sudden, The Saint began to laugh. It was a very hearty burst of laughter tainted with a heroic spirit that reverberated through the entire palace.

Zayn could feel that his mind was affected by the laughter. He had an intense urge to bow down and submit to The Saint. With great effort, he managed to keep himself from doing so.

“Zayn, you’re an interesting man. Excellent,” The Saint complimented him.

His actions had truly confused Zayn, leaving him baffled as to what kind of trick this was.

Nevertheless, he could only express his loyalty to The Saint. He said respectfully, “Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty.”

“It’s no wonder you could defeat Ezra. He was so scared that he turned white as a sheet when he was in the same situation as you are today. He turned around and ran, hah-hah, ” said The Saint in a slightly ridiculing tone.

Upon hearing that, Zayn was slightly stunned. Ezra had been intimidated by The Saint in this manner before too?
