Chapter 479 - Conquer the Whole World (A) (2/2)
“A… Zi… Ya…”
When the Dragon King Ba Baiying shouted the name of Sakra with his mouth, the chilly air that was spurted out could be seen by the naked eye!
Qin Fen passed by Sakra and stood between Sakra and Ba Baiying. Facing the Dragon King filled with murderous intent, he arched his hands in respect and said, “Dragon King, Head of Department…”
“Die!”
Ba Baiying saw Qin Fen and began to strike with his dragon-claw-like fingers without a moment’s notice! A large piece of air was immediately frozen from the strike!
Qin Fen closed his mouth and instantly channeled his lightning step, disappearing on the spot like light smoke. Ba Baiying’s strike merely froze the residual image on the spot left by Qin Fen.
“What happened to Yang Lie?”
Qin Fen hurriedly asked from a hundred meters away.
Facing Ba Baiying, Qin Fen felt no fear! Even if the difference in the strength of star-class between them was huge and his chances of winning were slim, he would remain fearless.
But Yang Lie, the moment Qin Fen heard Yang Lie’s horrendous scream, his heart began to worry.
“Yang Lie?” Ba Baiying’s murderous eyes turned into one filled with gentleness, followed by overwhelming sorrow. His clenched fists trembled. His whole body was trembling!
With Sakra and Ferrero between Ba Baiying and Qin Fen, it is impossible for Ba Baiying to instantly kill Qin Fen. His shaking arms quickly turned into a trembling throughout his body.
“Qin Fen!” Ba Baiying screeched with the true energy he gathered. The clouds in the skies were dispersed from the screech, “You, you…”
Ba Baiying’s chest was palpitating violently. He looked at Qin Fen with deep hatred that one would have when looking at the murderer of their family and said, “It’s all your fault… all your fault… if it weren’t for you, my beloved disciple wouldn’t have suffered through such torment!”
Ba Baiying looked handsome at this moment. Even when his face was filled with rage, he still exuded a natural, unrestrained vibe – the very face that women loved and desired.
“Me?”
Qin Fen froze on the spot with puzzled eyes.
“See for yourself!”
Ba Baiying waved his arms in the air. A huge projection screen appeared in front of Qin Fen’s eyes, showing the image of Yang Lie.
In a simple yet spacious stone room, Yang Lie was wearing a martial artist suit on his body. The gold-colored long hair on his forehead was separated in the middle. His forehead was evidently sweaty, as he chatted through a videophone.
A middle-aged man with short, black hair and a tall nose appeared in the videophone. He possessed an oriental beauty and looked a little similar to Yang Lie.
“Father.”
Yang Lie bowed to the middle-aged man on the screen. His attitude was respectful and modest.
“I’m giving you an order. If Qin Fen comes to you and invites you to join his team, refuse immediately!”
A deep and low-pitched voice that carried a sense of irresistibility came out from the middle-aged man’s mouth.
Feeling a slight shock in his body, Yang Lie looked up at the middle-aged man on the screen and asked, “Why?”
“Why? Yang Lie, you never asked me why.”
The majestic gaze was as imposing as a mountain. Even for Qin Fen, who was separated by a screen, he could feel the tremendous majesty exuding from the middle-aged man. That wasn’t the kind of majesty caused by martial strength, but rather from the power of a master from a major clan, who had cultivated this majesty after presiding over the family for many years.
Yang Lie raised his head with his body trembling slightly, “Father, I need to know this time.”
Well, since you will inherit Yang’s family in the future, so I will tell you this time.” The middle-aged man’s eyes sharpened for a moment, “The interests! The Zuo clan ceded enough benefits to us, about the interests of Saturn…”
Yang Lie listened quietly to his father’s explanation about the ins and outs of all these things.
The matter was not complicated and Yang Lie quickly understood everything. After a few seconds of grunting, he slowly straightened his back. His fists were held together unknowingly, “Father, please allow me to refuse this order.”
“What did you say?” The middle-aged sharp eyes flashed a glimpse of surprise, “Yang Lie, do you know what you are talking about?”
Qin Fen’s eyelids flew up and looked at Yang Lie in the picture, who slowly nodded, “Yes, father. I know what I am talking about, I refuse to obey this order.”
“Yang Lie!”
The sound of the shout was like thunder, the pressure of being an elder over the years suddenly arose.
Yang Lie’s body suffered a shock. As an American he had received Zhongzhou’s Confucian education and went through military-like management from his father since young. Yang Lie had merely been obeying his father all this while.
“Father.” Yang Lie’s body trembled fiercely as his neck began to further harden, “Please allow me to tell you the reason.”
“Speak!”
The words of the middle-aged people remained brief. His eyes had already explained everything. That is, no matter what Yang Lie says, there is no way Yang Lie could change his mind. The interests of the clan takes precedence!
“Father, from your perspective, Qin Fen can bring you the most benefit.”
“He? What does he have? A fifteen-star martial dao master? Son, you had also completed the Nirvana Marrow Transformation. I believe that you can enter the fifteen star-class pretty soon. He is but a solo martial artist, but the Zuo clan is a huge force! There is no way Qin Fen could assume leadership of Saturn. Even if he does, he couldn’t control it either.”
Yang Lie raised his head higher, “He has a future, an infinite future!”
“Future?” The middle-aged man laughed coldly, “There may be nothing in the future. Yang Lie, answer me now. If Qin Fen comes to you, what should your answer be?”
“Father.” Yang Lie took a few breaths and said slowly, “From the start, you taught me that the family’s interests are greater than the sky. I have always followed your teaching, thinking that you were right, or maybe you are right. Over the years, I had no friends. You told me that friends were just tokens that could be exchanged for interests. But now I have to tell you that there is a friendship in the world that could not be exchanged with anything! I always thought that this kind of friendship did not exist, but now I know that it really exists! Qin Fen is my friend, and turning my back to my friend is the same as turning my back to myself. If you really want my answer, I can tell you – if Qin Fen comes to me, I will definitely go with him. No!”
Yang Lie shook his head hard and waved his fist and said, “If Qin Fen doesn’t come to me, I will go to him and beat the shit out of him! And I will tell him this is not how he should treat his friends!”
“You…”
“Respected father, please forgive my stubbornness for once. Any benefits, regardless of how huge it is, can’t be compared to our friendship. This is my first time making friends, and this is the first time I’ve made a group of friends. I am very happy with them. So… goodbye…”
Yang Lie crushed the projection phone with his fingers just as he stopped his words.
“Master, please prepare the third-level of the Flame God Realm with infinite time. I need to improve my strength. Yes, before Qin Fen arrives, I need to become stronger!”
Yang Lie’s voice was slow and firm. The Dragon King Ba Baiying’s body trembled violently, as the muscles of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, “What did you say? Third-level of the Flame God Realm? Infinite time? Yang Lie, do you know what you are doing? Right now, if you enter the third-level of the Flame God Realm you can only withstand for two hours! Any duration longer than that you will…”
“Master, remember your promise to me when you accepted me as your disciple?” Yang Lie showed a particularly handsome smile, “I know that I can only withstand this for two hours, but time is running out. Qin Fen is coming and I am only peaking at fourteen-stars. Going with him will only drag him down and this is not what I want. Others might’ve gotten the news, and I don’t want to lose to those guys.”
“Maybe Qin Fen will not come…” Dragon King Ba Baiying tried to convince him again, only for Yang Lie to put his index finger in front of his lips and said, “Master, Qin Fen will look for me. I can hear him alighting the plane. That’s right, he will come, isn’t it? We are friends, aren’t we? If he doesn’t come, I will kill him. He knew that I would be waiting for him, so he will come!”
“Master!” Yang Lie smiled again, more vibrantly than before, “The third level of the Flame God Realm, please. Please allow your disciple to go along with it for once, for the sake of my friends, please allow me to do so.”
The door opened, presenting a fire-breathing furnace in front of Yang Lie. With a happy smile, he walked into the Realm of the Flame God.
Qin Fen clenched his fist unknowingly, piercing the knife-resistant skin with his fingers. Although he didn’t know what the Realm of the Flame God was, he could understand why Yang Lie would scream like that the moment he saw the hot flames.
Little Dragon King Yang Lie, who cultivated extremely chilling internal arts, had entered the extremely hot space to practice internal art?!
The image ended here. Ba Baiying looked at Qin Fen resentfully, “Do you know? Yang Lie has the best potential! He has a huge family and a bright future for him to inherit! You really do not see Yang Lie as a friend, doing nothing to get him out of there but standing at the same spot as you watch him break through just for you. He has been in there for nearly twenty hours! He will die soon…”
“He won’t die! I won’t drag him out either.”
Qin Fen clenched his teeth, with blood dripping from his fists. He stood up and said, “I want to wait for him right here. I know that his request to me is to stand here and wait for him! If he wants me to stand here, then I shall! Yang Lie will definitely survive!”
