Chapter 535 - A Sigh and Everything Goes Silent! (2/2)

The moment Qin Fen made his move, he raised his eyes and looked at the oncoming crazy Lan Caihe; a slight approval emerged in his eyes…

The bloodthirsty and murderous gaze of Insect Warrior Lan Caihe suddenly changed, replaced with a panic-stricken look. His charging figure suddenly came to stop as he turned tail and escaped…

Escaped! No one had thought that the Insect Warrior Lan Caihe, who had lost normal reasoning, would choose to flee at this moment!

Lu Dongbin was the one that was most unable to accept this fact. The information he got clearly stated that the insect warrior had no fear of life and death or injuries for that matter. They fought in a completely reckless manner, throwing every caution into the wind. When Nezha tried to subdue him, he had to scrap Lan Caihe’s hands and feet, and yet he was unable to make Lan Caihe back away.

He should have an emotionless killing machine; a warrior that would never back down. However, Lan Caihe was terrified; it was an instinctive fear.

If Lan Caihe was still a normal super-level martial artist, he would not have retreated. Even if he was afraid of Qin Fen, he still would not have retreated. As a human, he had the responsibility to protect his companions.

However, today’s Lan Caihe wasn’t the same as Lan Caihe from back then. He was an insect warrior. A creature that relied on instinct to fight. It may indeed have no fear of life and death but there was a basic fear ingrained in any beast’s instinct.

If Lan Caihe was devoid of any reasoning whatsoever, he would turn into an insect warrior that couldn’t tell enemy from foe. It would not escape in fear in the face of Qin Fen. But it still had a little tiny bit of wisdom. And it was because of this itsy-bitsy wisdom that it retreated.

Before that earth-shattering aura of power of Qin Fen, it instinctively discovered that it didn’t even have the qualifications to be the lamb that was about to be slaughtered; it would be mercilessly crushed into nothing in the blink of an eye. So, it retreated!

Lu Dongbin, realizing that the nearby Lan Caihe retreated, immediately sent curses to eighteen generations of that mysterious founder of the Founding Society who believed themselves to be at the top of the world. What a f***ing mess of insect warrior is this?

Is this what you call the most outstanding killing machine in the world? It’s nothing more than a conman selling mystical pills in Jianghu! If I return alive, I will definitely ask Jade Emperor to act and destroy this Founding Society first! Elysium paid a lot of money, and they gave us this defective product!

Lu Dongbin started cursing in his heart but his strength did not weaken in fury, rather his aura of power surprisingly skyrocketed because he was cursing the Founding Society, which seemed like a dark organization.

The remaining four experts and Lu Dongbin still maintained a strong aura of power. In the blink of an eye, they readjusted their combination of attacks to make up for the crack caused by Lan Caihe’s retreat.

Qin Fen, looking at the retreating Lan Caihe, immediately halted his attack and no longer attacked. Next, he heaved a slight sigh towards the sky.

Sigh.

This faint sigh sounded even more inexplicably depressing than that one sigh before. The feeling of loneliness enveloped the entire battlefield. Many Elysium and Inferno martial artists felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Why they were depressed, they weren’t able to tell completely.

The five experts were shaken up. This sigh was more powerful than the six true words in Buddhism, om mani padme hum, or the nine symbolic cuts of ninjutsu found on the back streets. The heaven and earth seemed to have sunk into an incomparable silence with this sigh. Everyone’s aura of power seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.

Qin Fen no longer took the initiative to attack. Just now, the battle intent and aura of power of the six people had finally ignited his ambition to fight. That was the only reason he actively released his power in response to the six experts. But who would have thought that just as he made his move — but still had not truly made his move — with just one stomp and one glance, would make the insect warrior Lan Caihe, who shouldn’t, and was most unlikely to retreat, retreat?

With one of the six experts leaving, furthermore, turning tail just because of a mere glance, Qin Fen felt an inexplicable sense of loss. A sigh of emotions escaped him instantly. All those birds that had flown away due to the previous shock, returned to the tree branches that they had inhabited before with this sigh, like a baby listening to a lullaby.

Qin Fen didn’t actively attack. He just stood on his spot to respond to battle. The re-coordination of the five experts was no longer hurried. They exchanged glances with each other in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint and immediately readjusted their respective positions.

Suddenly, the five experts finally appeared beside Qin Fen!
