Chapter 537 - Clean Punch (1/2)
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Just like the last group battle, this battle, in the opinion of most of the martial artists of Elysium and Inferno, started and ended in an instant as well. How did these five people lose in the hands of Qin Fen alone? Almost no one saw it clearly.
Last time, two Elysium members ended up dead. This time, two of Inferno members ended up dying. Only the Inferno powerhouses had managed to escape.
At this moment, there was no wind blowing in the natural cemetery, but everyone could feel a chill seeping down into their bones. Everyone looked at each other, asking each other what to do in this situation. Qin Fen was like the invincible demon lord from the legend, whereas the Eight Immortals and Inferno Kings were like the knights from the legends.
Unfortunately, their ending this time wasn’t like in fairy tales, where the knights killed the demon lord using their wits and guts, the weak overcoming the strong.
Today, the demon lord-like Qin Fen was still standing at the center of the battlefield. Slowly, he raised his legs and advanced towards the dark forest, like the demon lord wanting to kill the last defeated knight.
God knows who whispered ‘escape’ first, but almost two hundred Elysium and Inferno martial artists, who trod between the lines of life and death, scattered about with weapons in their hands. If they ran in the same direction, they would only be caught and silenced. Only by scattering would they have more chances of escaping.
Du Peng watched everyone escaping calmly, without any intention of chasing them. If Qin Fen wanted to silence everyone, he would have killed them already. Since he had no intention of silencing them, why would he arbitrarily kill these martial artists? They, too, had families to support, they, too, had relatives. They were just standing on opposing sides in this fight.
“Strong..”
“Bro Zhanpeng… can you beat him?”
“Yeah…”The Jungle Ranger standing in the forefront moved its metal head slowly. The words spoken next were full of endless lament, without the slightest sense of any hypocrisy. “I really hadn’t expected that he would be this strong. I had been training with Big Bro Zhan for so long, but I know now that I can’t defeat this person, whom I could beat back then, after having not seen him all these years.”
“It’s not just his star-class and earth aura energy that is strong, but the foundations of his martial art is very strong as well! In this fight, apart from the final confrontation with Lu Dongbin with the firm and fierce martial dao, it has been a real competition of martial skills. In the face of these seniors who have extremely rich experience, it’s even harder to win in technique than to forcefully suppress with the strength of star-class. But Qin Fen did it. Furthermore, it’s very difficult to do in one-on-one situations but Qin Fen did in a one-vs-many situation… I’m afraid he is really the top expert in the current younger generation…”
After the big fight, the forest of the natural cemetery regained its peace. Qin Fen broke the gloomy silence of the forest as he stepped on the branches that had fallen onto the ground; he slowly made his way towards the sobbing woman in the forest.
He Xiangu was lacking the calmness she showed even when her clothes had been ripped. Tears were pouring out her eyes faster than the blood dripping down her arms. Her neat hair was now a mess. Very soon, the biochemical beast controlled her bleeding, but it was unable to control the tears flowing out her eyes.
Pills, one after another were stuffed into Lu Dongbin’s mouth. He Xiangu kept staring at Lu Dongbin nervously as if she hadn’t noticed Qin Fen’s appearance.
In the last round, Lu Dongbin’s biochemical beast was dispersed temporarily. Although it was a level-four fusion biochemical beast, it was in a state of dormancy. Without the assistance of the biochemical beast, Lu Dongbin’s life was passing by with his crushed sternum and injured internal organs, bit by bit.
“My biochemical beast was actually forced into dormancy…” Lying on the ground and looking at the sky through the thick canopy of the forest, Lu Dongbin let out the self-deprecating words in his heart. As it turned out, I wasn’t the first expert of the firm and fierce martial dao in the world. Only the rising star Qin Fen is qualified to carry this title.
Although it was a short battle, his harvest was very rich. Furthermore, he had never fought a battle this happily as he had done today.
“Unfortunately… unfortunately…”
Lu Dongbin opened his mouth and sighed in lament. Meanwhile, blood kept pouring out of his mouth like a fountain, flowing down his neck and to the ground from the corner of his lips.
“Dong Bin… don’t talk anymore… just take care of your wounds…”
He Xiangu hurriedly and carefully wiped the corner of Lu Dongbin’s lips. Her green camouflage uniform was spotted in blood.
Lu Dongbin’s body had already regained its normal appearance. His handsome face barely smiled at He Xiangu. The pain from the injuries was making it harder for him to give a perfect smile.
“Don’t stay here, you must leave.” Lu Dongbin continued speaking, aggravating his internal injuries more and more. “Go, go before Qin Fen comes to silence us.”
Qin Fen was standing not too far away from them, gazing at the two in the ruins of the battlefield. Suddenly, He Xiangu felt that someone was here. She quickly turned around and spread her arms before Lu Dongbin, staring at Qin Fen with vigilance, like an angry hen trying to protect its chick.
“This…”
Qin Fen felt his vision turning a little blurry. At this moment, he saw a familiar image in He Xiangu: Song Jia’s image.
It wasn’t that He Xiangu looked like Song Jia. Rather, it was that their temperament rooted in their bones was overlapping at this moment.
