The Favored Son Of Heaven

Chapter 217: Fierce and Ambitious Man, Blood Devil

Very soon, most of the cloud of dust and smoke that rose due to the intense battle had dissipated. So long as one’s eyesight wasn’t too bad, they could clearly see the situation inside the death pool.

The huge fish-scaled gorilla was lying on the ground, hanging on by a breath. Its four strong and robust limbs were like caterpillars that had suddenly stopped squirming, creating a strange appearance joint by joint.

Already, one-third of the scales from that ancient fish-scaled armor had fallen off from being thrown over and over again. In many places it was like damaged water pipes, spraying blood instead of water.

Owing to those high-intensity throws, one of the eyeb.a.l.l.s of the fish-scaled gorilla had been smashed. Having lost the eyelid protecting the eyeball, a fountain of blood squirted from the eye socket like a mountain spring in the rainy season.

Qin Fen’s body had already returned to its normal condition. Except his face was a bit pale.

The strength of the fish-scaled gorilla was still beyond his estimated level. When he forcefully received this monster’s attack, Qin Fen’s blood and vital energy were sent into turmoil from the shock of the violent power.

His bones might not have been broken by the fish-scaled gorilla, but the two-way impact made every joint in his body squeeze together, causing him a whole lot of pain.

Seeing that the fish-scaled gorilla could not stand back up from the ground and was not too far away from its death, Qin Fen finally took a deep breath of relief as the true energy within his body erupted once more.

At this time, a smile had appeared on his pale face.

Sometimes, it’s really hard to distinguish between good things and bad things.

Because he broke through to six-star cla.s.s by creating a boxing skill during his retreat, Qin Fen had lost the opportunity to break through to an even further level. However, that savage blow from the fish-scaled gorilla had stirred the bottleneck in his body that should have been broken through, which resulted in this eruption of his true energy.

Looking down at the fish-scaled gorilla on the ground, the corner Ming Kun’s eyes twitched constantly. If he was asked to deal with this monster, it would be impossible for him to win so quickly and in such a splendid manner.

Among the eight-star martial artists, except for a few martial artists who were practicing unique exercises, perhaps there was none that could finish this fish-scaled gorilla faster than Qin Fen.

As for six-star martial artists, Ming Kun was highly skeptical. Even if you searched the entirety of the Federation, one could not find a second six-star martial artist who could beat an eight-star mutated beast into a crippled monster.

Taking a sidelong glance at w.a.n.g Hao, whose face was br.i.m.m.i.n.g with smiles, he secretly praised General w.a.n.g Hao’s unique insight.

“General Wu, it seems that…haha…” w.a.n.g Hao said, applauding leisurely, “I have won this gamble of life and death…”

Wu Lianda’s eyes and ears twitched fiercely. Never before had he seen such a matter, never before had he suffered such a big loss. Suddenly, he fiercely tightened the grip on the cane in his hand so that everyone could hear cracking sounds coming from it.

While everyone thought that this old general was venting out his loss of face, the sole eye of the crippled fish-scaled gorilla lying flat on the ground burst forth with a red gleam as it pounced at Qin Fen with incredible speed.

Right this instant, its mouth opened wide.

The head of fish-scaled gorilla wasn’t too big, but its sudden opening of the mouth was like a snake swallowing a mouse. The extent to which it could stretch his jaws was simply shocking, it was almost enough to swallow Qin Fen whole.

This change in the situation was rather too quick; so quick that before everyone could react, Qin Fen had already been swallowed by the fish-scaled gorilla.

Finally, a smile appeared on that gloomy face of Wu Lianda as he slowly spread his palm open. To everyone’s surprise, the ball that was used as the handle of the cane had a circuit board installed inside.

There was no need for any further explanation. w.a.n.g Hao also knew that this circuit board had a special relations.h.i.+p with the fish-scaled gorilla below. Supposedly, some kind of stimulating circuit was installed in its brain, which broke the four limbs of the fish-scaled gorilla into a dozen more pieces, so that it would rise again and give one final blow.

Almost everyone standing by the edge of the death pool drew in a cold breath of air at the same time. The attack of the fish-scaled gorilla was just too sudden and too fast.

Everyone placed themselves in Qin Fen’s shoes and believed that even if they were standing in the field, they too might get killed by this fatal blow.

“Hahaha, Young General w.a.n.g.” Wu Lianda, throwing the cane on the ground and reaching out to take another one from his subordinate, looked at w.a.n.g Hao with his face radiating with happiness. “It seems that you have nothing to do with this ton of powder of mine…”

“Look at that gorilla! It seems like it is in pain!” Suddenly someone by the death pool shouted, interrupting Wu Lianda’s happy speech.

Following that man’s shout, Wu Lianda turned his gaze at the fish-scaled gorilla in the pit.

The fish-scaled gorilla that had just erupted with the sudden blow was now lying on the ground. His eyes filled with incomparable pain. Its head was fiercely shaking at a rate of tens of times per second constantly.

The neck muscles under its scales were showing irregular peristalsis movements. Even some of the scales that had still not fallen off were standing erect due to this tremendous force.

Creak…creak…creak…

Suddenly, creaking noise came from the chin of the fish-scaled gorilla as its jaws moved up and down at uniform speed. Meanwhile, Qin Fen, who had just been swallowed, was like Pangu separating heaven and earth.

Only, while Pangu separated the heaven and the earth, Qin Fen was separating that stinking mouth of the fish-scaled gorilla.

“This…” At the sight of this, Wu Lianda was completely flabbergasted. This had completely exceeded all his estimates.

Qin Fen, standing inside the fish-scaled gorilla’s mouth, flipped his fingers, which were as hard as drill rods on each hand, and dug them straight into the b.l.o.o.d.y flesh of fish-scaled gorilla’s upper jaw before he made his way out miserably screaming fish-scaled gorilla’s mouth, with his one arm still inside it.

Under the excruciating pain, the fish-scaled gorilla tried to clench its two rows of sharp teeth. It believed that its teeth that could even pierce through iron plates could surely bite off the arm of this human.

Qin Fen, with his left hand still inside the fish-scaled gorilla’s mouth, pushed its jaw that it wanted to shut.

At the same time, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art circulated throughout his body as his muscle fibers were fully activated once more, invading every inch of his body. While his eyes suddenly widened, radiating a furious glare.

He looked closely at the grim look on Qin Fen’s face, and a feeling of trepidation suddenly arose in the heart of fish-scaled gorilla. That ice-cold look made it instinctively feel the approach of its death.

A chilling murderous intent flashed past Qin Fen’s eyes. Just now, he was somewhat careless, believing that this filthy beast could not cause any more trouble already. Had he not taken the initiative to rush into its mouth like a dragon rus.h.i.+ng into the pool, his body might have been bitten off by it. It would have been really troublesome.

Recalling what Butcher had once taught, “before the enemy’s head has fallen, you absolutely cannot put your guard down”, Qin Fen felt his face a go little hot.

It was really a big mistake to be so careless in a mission where he could die anytime.

At this moment, Qin Fen decided to completely put the dao of butcher killing into practice. An intense bloodl.u.s.t arose from Qin Fen’s body, making even the spectators standing outside the death pool feel cold.

Immediately, he pulled his two arms towards both sides!

Crack…swish…

Blood, like water coming out from high-pressure water cannon on a fire truck, gushed out from the wound where the fish-scaled gorilla’s lower jaw had been torn off, dying Qin Fen’s entire body in its blood.

Like a gore fiend, Qin Fen stood there proudly after having thrown away the fish-scaled gorilla with a jerk of his hands that were still inserted inside its upper and lower jaw. He didn’t so much as take a glance at the constantly whimpering fish-scaled gorilla lying powerlessly on the ground.

At the sight of this, the people spectating the death pool were shocked. Many people’s muscles suddenly tightened up as the sound of their gasping rang to no end.

Killing a fish-scaled gorilla was something that some of the people among the spectators could do, but to do it in such a terrifying way…not everyone could do it.

Qin Fen raised his hand as he wiped off the blood on his face before raising his head, looking at Wu Lianda at the edge of the death pool. “Delightful! Is there more? Send one more!”

“Hahaha…hahaha…” Wu Lianda forced his laughter, but there wasn’t any smiling expression on his face, not in the slightest. Slowly, he applauded and repeatedly nodded. “Young ones deserved to be treated with respect, young ones deserved to be treated with respect.”

“Old General Wu.” Now, it was w.a.n.g Hao’s turn to have his face beaming with joy. “Thank you very much for that one-ton powder of yours.”

“Haha…” Wu Lianda laughed coldly as he flung his long sleeve. Without speaking any further, he turned around and walked away with his men.

It didn’t make any sense to stay here anymore. Naturally, Wu Lianda didn’t want to see others happy. He needed to swallow his anger and walk away from this place.

As for that one ton of powder!? Why would a dead man need any powder? Wu Lianda’s eyes were flickering with an endless cold gleam. Asking him to give away one ton of powder was equal to asking him to give away half of his forces. This was something he couldn’t do.

The iron gates of the death pool opened once more as the audience took their leave. A blood-covered Qin Fen walked out from the death pool, a place no one had ever left alive.

w.a.n.g Hao, with a big smile on his face, made his way to Qin Fen and opened his arms, giving him a vigorous bear hug, ignoring the blood on his body.

A ton of powder! It was his. Even w.a.n.g Hao had to sigh happily. He had hit it big.

What’s more, not only had he gained a ton powder, he had also severely weakened Wu Lianda at the same time. The future unification of this area was just around the corner.

“Very good, kid! My eyes really didn’t make a mistake.”

w.a.n.g Hao, having given a bear hug, happily retreated while repeatedly praising Qin Fen.

Lin Ling, like a bird, was in Qin Fen’s arms already.

w.a.n.g Hao’s subordinates, who had watched this battle with him, were now praising General’s unique insight from the bottom of their heart and also peeking a few glances at Qin Fen at the same time.

“Young man, you have a future.” The honorary presidential special envoy rhythmically applauded. “You are absolutely not a thing of the pond. In the future, you will surely have your place in the Golden Triangle.”

“But of course, w.a.n.g Hao’s brother is naturally not bad.”

w.a.n.g Hao was still gallantly smiling but for a moment, he turned his head as a murderous intention that could send chills to anyone radiated from the depth of his eyes.

“General…” A soldier in camouflage uniform jumped out of the car and whispered in w.a.n.g Hao’s ear. “Chen Feiyu is also out.”

“Oh!? Good news!” w.a.n.g Hao’s beamed with joy. “Today I can say happiness has descended upon the house. Let’s go and meet Brother Chen!”

“General, I will take a shower first!”

Qin Fen cupped his hand before following a soldier on another road.

After walking into the bathroom, Qin Fen took off his clothes. Surprised, he saw his body.

My body was covered in fish-scaled gorilla’s blood. Even if the quality of the camouflage suit was really good, it couldn’t be fully waterproof…there should be some blood on my skin. However, why can’t I see any bit of blood on my skin?

After a few seconds of daze, Qin Fen hurriedly rushed down and changed into a set of clothes that had been prepared by Lin Ling. Only then did he rushed to the hall.

Chen Feiyu was out of his seclusion. Qin Fen also very much wanted to know what it was like for a man, who only had half the meridians that ordinary people had after he cultivated in the internal art that was revised by Qin Fen.

Qin Fen arrived at the front of the hall, and before he could walk in, a chilling bloodl.u.s.t surged out from the room. Immediately, Qin Fen’s hair stood erect on their ends in response.

In the hall, w.a.n.g Hao’s tone was very low, “Chen Feiyu, are you sure your sister was killed by my subordinate, Ni Kun?”

“General, I don’t have any other request.” Chen Feiyu was standing at the center of the hall. “On the account that you gave me that evolution pearl, I have no problem working myself to the bone for you. But that’s under the premise that you will hand over the enemy who killed my sister.”

“This…”

w.a.n.g Hao was somewhat tongue-tied for a moment. He was already informed of the matter of Ni Kun killing Chen Feiyu’s sister. Afterward, he even rewarded the other party with twenty thousand bucks after weighing the pros and cons.

He looked at Chen Feiyu with some embarra.s.sment. A person with Copper Solar Const.i.tution wasn’t some Chinese cabbage one could find anywhere. Compared to Chen Feiyu, Ni Kun was much less valuable.

However, if he really handed Ni Kun to Chen Feiyu like this, how would he convince the public in the future?

w.a.n.g Hao had to consider many things. Copper Solar Const.i.tution, even for him, it was the first time seeing someone having this kind of const.i.tution. Compared to Qin Fen, he cared more about Chen Feiyu’s submission.

With his experience of being a policeman for many years, w.a.n.g Hao was confident that he could control Chen Feiyu.

As for Qin Fen, w.a.n.g Hao always felt that he could not fully see through the opposite party’s intentions. Qin Fen even gave him a slightly suspicious feeling.

It wasn’t until today when the special envoy of the honorary president said “You are absolutely not a thing of the pond”, did he finally understand why Qin Fen gave him the feeling of a dragon.

A dragon can either be big or small. It can soar to the ninth level of heaven or go deep into the sea.

Mortal, how can he control it?’

That’s why, precisely at that moment, when w.a.n.g Hao was making arrangements for Qin Fen, he had killing intent.

No matter how good a genius was, if he could not completely control him or her, then, they weren’t any genius! They were ticking time bombs!

“General, I don’t have any evidence to prove that Ni Kun killed my sister.” Chen Feiyu’s calm voice interrupted w.a.n.g Hao’s thoughts. “However, I can conclude that he is my sister’s killer.”

“This…”

As w.a.n.g Hao glanced at Qin Fen, who was walking in, before taking a look at Chen Feiyu whose face was filled with killing intent, w.a.n.g Hao was unable to refuse Chen Feiyu’s request even more so.

Chen Feiyu was someone with Copper Solar Const.i.tution. In the future, he could become a super fierce general who could sweep the entire Golden Triangle.

“General!”

A sonorous shout suddenly came from outside the hall. That robust figure of Ni Kun was already standing at the entrance.

“I lied to you, Chen Feiyu’s sister was actually killed by me.” Ni Kun, only after seeing w.a.n.g Hao nod his permission to enter, made his way into the hall. “According to the rules of the Golden Triangle, he can take revenge on me, but I can also kill him! To be honest, many of my brothers and I are dissatisfied with you because of the recruitment of these two people. Of course…”

Ni Kun looked at the quietly standing Qin Fen. “Today, we already came to know that your choice has been right about this man. However, Chen Feiyu has been stuck in the five-star realm for over two years. Only now, when you readily gave him your evolution pearl did he finally break through. Yet he isn’t even thinking about repaying your kindness, instead, he’s talking about conditions with you. I request you to allow me to kill him.”

w.a.n.g Hao slowly looked at the other people and discovered that many people were looking at Chen Feiyu with hostility and killing intent.

w.a.n.g Hao slightly raised his arm and hooked his finger at Ming Kun before whispering into his ear, “Tell Ni Kun, I, w.a.n.g Hao am grateful to him in this life. If he can kill Chen Feiyu, I will promote him to major. And if he is killed by Chen Feiyu, as long as I am living, I will take care of his family as if they were my family.”

When Ni Kun heard Ming Kun reporting w.a.n.g Hao’s words, his blood started boiling.

Major, if he could become a major today, then it was quite possible for him to become the feudal lord of a region with the expansion of his territory and forces!

“If that’s the case…” w.a.n.g Hao rubbed his forehead. “Then, in accordance with the rules, it should be up to me to mediate. If either side is dissatisfied even after that, then it will be life and death battle, okay?”

Life and death battle, life and death battle again! Qin Fen’s face was immediately blanketed with a bit of blood aura upon hearing this. The Golden Triangle was indeed a world of dog eats dog. Life here was like the most worthless thing in the world.

“General.” Chen Feiyu raised his arm without hesitation. “Even if you can convince Ni Kun to commit suicide and apologize, I will still be dissatisfied. I need to kill this man with my own hands.”

w.a.n.g Hao forced a smile as he heaved a heavy sigh. “Then, we will hold a life and death battle. For the sake of fairness, if you two don’t mind, let’s go to the death pool, okay?”

In the death pool, there weren’t any obstructions. It was just a circular pit. It was indeed the fairest place to fight.

Everyone returned to the death pool once more. That corpse of that fish-scaled gorilla had already been piled up to the side. But because of this, the b.l.o.o.d.y smell lingering in the air had become even more intense.

Having entered the death pool, Chen Feiyu and Ni Kun noticed the dead fish-scaled gorilla, both taken aback for a moment. Even if it was already dead, the two people could still feel that when this monster was alive, it was absolutely a terrifying existence.

w.a.n.g Hao stood quietly outside the pa.s.sage to the death pool. The thick iron pillar cut off the connection between the pa.s.sage ladder and the death pool.

Standing quietly by w.a.n.g Hao’s side was Ming Kun. He was one of the few who had the qualifications to watch this battle up close, whereas other spectators were standing on a wall twenty-meters above at the edge of the death pool, looking at this battle from a bird’s eye view.

Although Qin Fen and Lin Ling had made great contributions just after joining in, they could only stand twenty meters above the death pool and watch from there because they had yet to seek their reward according to their contributions.

w.a.n.g Hao, with a grim look on his face, was watching the two martial artists on the side of the iron fence. Pinched between his thumb and index finger was a gla.s.s-like transparent needle that was even thinner than hair!

Ming Kun was silently standing on one side. This was the Netherworld Shadowless Needles, one of the sharp weapons used by w.a.n.g Hao to sneak attack when he had entered the Golden Triangle. Now that w.a.n.g Hao had taken it out and was ready to use it, it meant that someone was truly going to die.

“General…”

“There is no other way.” w.a.n.g Hao lightly shook his head with a sigh. “Ni Kun has entered the peak of six-star level for a long time, and even though Chen Feiyu has just broken through to six-star level, I can’t lose a man with Copper Sun Const.i.tution…”

“General, apart from Chen Feiyu, you still have Qin Fen.” Ming Kun’s brows were already furrowed. He did not want to watch an unfair life and death battle.

“Qin Fen!?” A layer of frost suddenly blanketed w.a.n.g Hao’s face. “He is indeed strong, but he is too unsafe. If he is an undercover operative from the Federation, then, there is a certain danger. But if he really had no other choice but to come to Golden Triangle, then, his danger is even greater. This man is a dragon, he isn’t a worm. Therefore, he can only be a chess piece. After his value had been completely squeezed out, he can be discarded. For instance, he can be used to kill the president or Wu Lianda. As for Lin Ling, I like this woman. Following Qin Fen is profaning her. As long as I have Copper Solar Const.i.tution Chen Feiyu, it’s enough.”

Hearing this, Ming Kun felt a chill running down his spine. Even someone who had just earned w.a.n.g Hao a ton of powder was treated like this. Staring blankly at w.a.n.g Hao’s back, he finally heaved a sigh and didn’t say anything.

Since he had sold his life to w.a.n.g Hao long ago, he could only follow this fierce and ambitious man all the way!

In the stands, only Qin Fen and Ling Len were the most relaxed among all the spectators.

Ling Ling was sitting on Qin Fen’s lap, quietly staring at the two men in the death pool with her beautiful eyes. Her arms were wrapped around Qin Fen’s neck like she was watching a movie.

Qin Fen’s eyes seemed closed yet open at the same time. He noticed that Ni Kun’s shoulder muscles were particularly developed and the root of his ears suddenly started jumping. He should be a martial artist practicing upper limb boxing.

In a life and death battle, there were no such things as customs like in a compet.i.tion. The moment one entered, there were only two options: life or death. Naturally, one had to immediately take his stance; there was no room for any unnecessary nonsense here.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense. Ni Kun took his stance as he gripped his fist, displaying a Thai boxing stance. Only, the muscles on his arms were lightly stirring up; but it wasn’t the true energy way of Neo Muay Thai at all.

“Great Monument Breaking Hand!?”

Qin Fen’s eyes that seemed opened yet closed flickered with a cold gleam. Since he could hit a little girl using the hard-style Great Monument Breaking Hand with a certain softness, this kind of hidden means was enough to prove that he had trained in many styles.

When two foes met, their eyes flashed fire. The moment w.a.n.g Hao flicked the iron pillar, indicating the start of the battle, Chen Feiyu ran just two steps as he arched his back like a hunting Leopard and directly appeared before Ni Kun. His two palms were like missiles with a clear target, aimed directly at Ni Kun’s heart.

This was Rus.h.i.+ng into the Palace with an Iron Lance from the record. It was completely immersed with the aura of a soldier stubbornly making his way through the battlefield with an ancient spear. At this moment, a sharp howl could be heard in the air like it was a real steel spear.

Meanwhile, Ni Kun’s eyes were fixed on Chen Feiyu, who was eager for revenge. As he flipped his wrist, the muscles of his forearm swelled as he fiercely smashed it down like a hammer. Almost at the same time, his other arm, which had used to cast the Great Monument Breaking Hand, was already coming down on Chen Feiyu’s head like thunder.

A timely counterattack! Ni Kun had been fighting between life and death with six-star martial artists for many years. As such, he believed that his grasp of timing was much better than Chen Feiyu, who had just entered the six-star level.

At the same level, a calculation error of even a fraction of second made the difference between life and death.

Immediately, the sharp gleam in w.a.n.g Hao’s eyes soared as he fiercely flipped his wrist. He had also not expected Ni Kun to be faster than normal due to the stimulation of the life and death battle.

The corner of Ni Kun’s lips rose into a radiant smile. The difference between both sides is already decided. My fist is a step faster…

Swis.h.!.+

Suddenly, the speed of charging Chen Feiyu soared as the blue veins across his body bulged. His body advancing through the air with that kind of speed immediately caused a sharp sonic boom.

Ni Kun’s heart suddenly tightened. w.a.n.g Hao, who was just about to shoot the Shadowless Needle, forcefully stopped his hand.

He knew that this momentary rise in speed had reversed the life and death position of both sides once again. And Ni Kun didn’t have the chance to turn the tables anymore.

BOOM!

The moment Chen Feiyu’s palm landed on Ni Kun’s chest, the muscles of his back suddenly rose high. In the next second, Chen Feiyu’s palm struck Ni Kun’s body six times. Immediately after, Chen Feiyu, without taking so much as a glance at his opponent, turned around and made his way towards the pa.s.sage.

At this moment, Ni Kun’s smile had still not disappeared. But very soon, his distorted smile looked sadder and uglier than crying itself.

Seven Breaks Seven Prohibitions Sad Fists: rumor had it that once someone was. .h.i.t by it, he would die for sure. And when he was dead, his facial muscles would distort like he was laughing, but this smile would be sadder, uglier, and more miserable than crying itself.

At this moment, everyone who saw this scene had the same thought flash in their mind. “So the rumor was true.”

Qin Fen, on the other hand, seeing Chen Feiyu win, heaved a light sigh of relief.

It was rumored that the conditions for practicing this set of exercises were very harsh. Seven prohibitions were to be followed, that was, heart, love, kindness, desire, bitterness, life and death, and missing.

In the past, Chen Feiyu couldn’t do it. He was unable to sever kindness from himself. So naturally, he was unable to sever his heart. Even if the exercise had been revised, he shouldn’t have been so tyrannical that he could instakill a peak six-star martial artist directly.

When his sister died, it made him sever his love, and even sever his heart. Out of seven severings, he could sever six. Presumably, when he broke through, he gained a lot using this set of palm technique.
