Chapter 503 - Going Separate Ways (2/2)
“Qin Fen! Kill me! Kill me!” Zuo Lin shouted hysterically and the sand under his body flew everywhere, “If you don’t kill me today, I will kill all of you in the future! Kill me!”
It was not easy to kill a seventeen-star class martial dao grandmaster. Zuo Lin only wanted to die quickly. It was not that he could not see the road ahead after the death of an eighteen-star class grandmaster martial artist, it was the death of a close relative that ruined all his logical reasoning.
Roaring and yelling, Zuo Lin was struggling and there was constant turbulence in the yellow sand.
Butcher’s steps were frivolous and he walked past Zuo Lin in a daze. He saw the person who made him sleepless. Every time he closed his eyes, or even without closing them, a very familiar silhouette would appear – Zuo Dongting.
That order sent two of his brothers to death at Saturn, having forced them to go by threatening their family members.
Butcher’s stunned eyes flashed a glimmer of light. His shivering limbs accelerated the pace forward and the pumping chest showed his enraged emotions.
“Zuo Dongting… Zuo Dongting…”
Butcher muttered and went forward. He did not notice that Zuo Dongting had died and only had the delusion of the man in his sight.
Butcher once thought that he would be so scared that he wouldn’t even be able to budge when he saw him. However, when he really saw Zuo Dongting, he was no longer afraid and even forgot other every other emotion except anger.
“Zuo Dongting, return my brothers’ lives!”
Butcher growled and punched Zuo Dongting’s cheek…
Smack… Zuo Dongting’s body fell to the ground and Butcher followed up. He punched his cheek again and the palm’s muscles changed rapidly. The Heart Excising Hand pierced his body like a knife. He was like a wild demon ignoring the blood splashing on his face. He screamed again and again, “Return my brothers’ lives… return my brothers’ lives… return my brothers’ lives you motherf*cker…”
“Butcher…” Zuo Lin was struggling, groaning and roaring, “Butcher… Qin Fen… F*ck your ancestors! Let me go! Let me go…”
Du Hen looked at Xing Wuyi, “You are a smart person. You should be able to calculate the trade-offs very well. I believe that as a friend of Qin Fen, you should be able to make the judgments that will reap the most benefits on behalf of your friend?”
“Yes, General Du, I know how to calculate the benefits very well.” Xing Wuyi pushed the gold-rimmed spectacles frame up. His lips twitched with faint signs of self-mockery, “However, sometimes I am also a stupid person. Even though I knew the benefits could be maximized, I still chose the grueling road purposely. Lord General, we have a Chinese saying that goes, ‘There is no cooperation with people going separate ways.'”
Du Hen smiled faintly as if he didn’t mind if the persuasion was effective or not. His eyes looked at Du Peng, who pressed Zuo Lin to the ground. This man’s art was a mixture of Du Zhanpeng and the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder. It had become the best human cauldron, “If this is the case, then I wish you all the best. However, I will take the people of Zuo Clan with me.”
Xue Tian’s body blocked Du Peng and the broken katana in his hand reached Du Hen. He said coldly, “Who is in your Zuo Clan, Lord General?”Read more chapter on our novelhall.com
Tsk…
The sword aura released by the broken knife drew a horizontal line in the sand between the two parties.
Xue Tian said faintly, “Go past this line, and you will have to be prepared to fight with us.”
Brooks was silent while standing not far from Xue Tian. The huge saber gathered intense killing intention.
Yang Lie stood side by side with Caesar and with the internal art of Yin and Yang combo, they could always fight an incredible battle. Even one as strong as Zuo Dongting had suffered badly.
Chen Feiyu didn’t speak. A person who came from the life-or-death arena didn’t need to talk. The murderous aura that almost condensed into a solid form spoke for him.
Solomon’s sixteen-star class martial strength was the most excited among this group of young men. It didn’t matter if Du Hen retreated. As long as Qin Fen signaled, he would definitely be the first person to fight.
Du Hen looked at Qin Fen and Xing Wuyi, then at this group of young men who had a youthful but determined look. A very uncomfortable feeling stabbed his heart. There were two kinds of people that I hate most in life; one is stupid people and the other is smart people who should make correct judgments but prefers to give a stupid response.
These young men were all elites and it can be said that they have a limitless future. Perhaps they could have gained much under the exchange of interests but they chose to deliberately block the entire road.
Trade two sixteen-star class martial dao masters as a condition in exchange for Du Peng? Du Hen smiled faintly. Even if ordinary people knew that these were loose conditions, it was obviously not feasible in front of these young people.
“Friendship? That’s amusing!” Du Hen smirked, “The only relationship between people in this world is competition! There will be selfishness! You are all elites but your performance is incomparably childish!”
There was no answer and that was what was required at this moment. Standing closely together was the best answer.
Beep…
Du Hen’s phone sounded and the projection showed the smoke of war. Du Yu was dressed in a military uniform appeared, “Father, Mourad is saved.”
“Very good.” Du Hen nodded and looked at Qin Fen, “You owe me a favor.”
Clap clap clap…
Xing Wuyi applauded and slowly uttered the steady words, “Great, great! We were fighting with the enemy in front of us and forgot about the poisonous snake behind us. I really forgot you, Snake King. That means the people I sent out should have been…”
Without feeling proud, Du Hen responded calmly, “A few words were enough to send them off.”
Xing Wuyi nodded. Mourad is in the hands of Zuo Lin’s subordinates. They still have fear because of Zuo Lin’s problems, but when it fell to the hands of Du Yu, there was no fear at all. Even if the people sent out still went forth, they would have had to choose to leave because of the concern for Mourad’s life.
“Pick up your pin…” Du Hen’s words were always steady, “I don’t need you to really work for the army. I just need you to retain the military status for the time being and I will give you all the military resources of Saturn. You are the absolute supervisor there and no one in the military headquarters will give orders to you. To be more precise, you are the new warlord of Saturn.”
“Everything is yours and you don’t have to bear a single responsibility.” Du Hen continued, “Is it strange? There’s nothing strange. If you go to Saturn now, the military doesn’t even stand a chance. Instead of that, why not give it to you? So, you don’t owe me anything and I’m sure you think that as well. Then great. Pick up your pin and just go to the battles bearing the status of a military. Mourad will be returned to you.”
Xing Wuyi was astounded. Based on his understanding of Snake King, this general would never do any unprofitable trade. He could just withdraw the Saturn personnel but why…
Du Hen looked at Qin Fen and Qin Fen looked at Du Hen.
After a second, Qin Fen took a step forward and slowly bent over to pick up the pin on the ground that was covered with sand.
Du Hen raised his eyebrows and was also somewhat surprised. It would not be strange if Qin Fen with that straight personality refused. However, he picked up the pin without saying anything and all this was just for Mourad. Lowering his dignity for a youth that wanted to kill him! What kind of young man is this?
“Qin Fen…” Du Hen paused a little and fell into a few seconds of contemplation. He said, “Being too affectionate and righteous will hurt you one day. As a person who had experienced it before, this is a piece of advice for you. The more you value affection and righteousness, the more serious the injury will be when you are betrayed by your friends in the future!”
The dry and warm wind was still blowing when Du Hen turned and walked on the yellow sand.
Xing Wuyi stepped forward while staring at Du Hen’s back and shouted, “General Du, can you tell me why? This is not in line with your character.”
Du Hen didn’t stop. He walked past Butcher’s side and grabbed his collar before throwing him aside.
Du Hen bent over and picked up Zuo Dongting, whose flesh and blood had been mixed. He kicked away Butcher who had rushed forward without really hurting him. He turned and stared at Xing Wuyi. He said calmly, “There was a person who had the same dream as me, which was to have the chance to produce a Divine Beast martial artist from the military headquarters. Although I hate him, I have the same dream. If the Divine Beast martial artists of the military headquarters came from the Du family, surely, he would die with regrets. Well then, I give him one last chance to let him die peacefully. There will definitely be a Divine Beast in the Du family! But before that, if someone else from the military headquarters were to become a Divine Beast, it would also be counted as accomplishing his wish.”
Du Hen flew into the sky and left only one sentence that echoed in everyone’s ears, “I hate myself today.”
