Chapter 558 - World Famous (1/2)

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The overwhelming Sky-Splitting Saber Technique bloomed into a dazzling yet chilling sight under the night sky. Before everyone could marvel at that amazing energy blade, Aslan retreated back into the sky and punched in the air, completely breaking that tangible energy blade into pieces. Hovering in the air, he looked down at the three youngsters on the ruined stage.

Aslan didn’t attack immediately. He simply hovered in the air with ease, looking down at Qin Fen and his team.

It wasn’t until this moment that everyone got to see the attacker’s face from the projection screen. His long and slender golden eyebrows growing to his temples brought about a kind of extraordinary aloofness in him. The tattered martial uniform on his upper body revealed his slender and robust body, whereas his Arabic descent just made him appear foreign and handsome. His palm was particularly large, way larger than normal. As such, his clenched fist appeared bigger than normal people’s.

The crowd, upon looking at Aslan in the projection, immediately started making exclamations. No one had expected the attacker to look like that. He appeared to be a middle-aged man. Even though his eyes were viewed through the projection, it made everyone feel as if they had fallen into hell.

“Aslan, a man with a bounty of one billion.” Qin Fen furrowed his brow as he spoke indifferently, gazing at the hovering Aslan, “Federation should increase the reward for your head once again; a bounty of ten billion or even a hundred billion would not be too much.”

A prideful look appeared on Aslan’s face. The bounty of any martial dao master was more than a billion. But the worth of a nineteen-star level martial dao master with earth aura could not be calculated with money at all.

“Young man, your performance is beyond my expectations.” Aslan’s voice was more grating than anyone had imagined. When he opened his mouth, his voice sounded harsh, like two hacksaws rubbing against each other. “The reason I came to Saturn this time was to accept the birthday gift offered by Lance. I didn’t expect it to be completely destroyed by you.”

“Birthday?” Qin Fen furrowed his brow.

“That’s right!” Aslan looked up. “Though Lance can’t give me the gift anymore, I can’t waste his filial piety. I will take this birthday gift myself. Of course, I’ll give interest back to my men before I take my birthday gift.”

Aslan raised his hand and snapped his finger before the official data on Aslan appeared on the projection screen in the sky. That mechanical voice was immediately passed into the ears of tens of thousands of people in the audience. “Aslan, the world’s number one Terror Tycoon with the ultimate danger level, level X. He had once brought an airplane down to introduce a deadly virus into the water source of a town, causing the entire town to lose their sanity and turn into lunatics who killed anyone in their sight…”

One after another, details of his terrorist attacks were introduced to the crowd, some events were even unheard of. Everyone slowly felt the terror as the official details were read, especially when they saw the scenes occasionally captured through the satellites of Aslan carrying out the terrorist attacks occasionally captured through the satellites.

A chill ran straight along everyone’s spine and into their brains. Everyone was jolted awake; they began to want to leave this stadium. There wasn’t any divine beast martial artist on this planet. It could be said that he could do whatever he wanted. Perhaps only Inferno and Elysium experts could stop him. But when both sides were at each other’s throat, who would set up against an even stronger enemy?

“Let me give everyone another piece of news.” Aslan enjoyed the panicked look on everyone’s face. “You don’t need to be in a hurry to leave. I have buried enough explosives in this stadium to bury hundreds of thousands of you with Lance. This can be considered a luxurious burial for him.”

A sharp shriek was followed by countless terrified screams resounding throughout the stadium. The people who had just calmed down could no longer be calm. He was the Terrorist King, Aslan! Anything he said could definitely not be taken as a joke. If he said that he installed explosives here, then explosives were really installed here. If one chose to stay, they would be headed on a one-way highway to hell.

Panicked cries filled the entire stadium. Everyone left their seats and rushed to various exits in a hurry, shoving each other. In a flash, the not-so-wide passageway was completely jam-packed.

People screamed at each other, struggling and shoving each other, trying to leave this place of death as soon as possible. Everything had turned into a horrid mess in a flash.

The hovering in the sky Aslan looked at the people in the stadium with a satisfied look. He slowly spread his arms. “It’s a

Aslan’s ten fingers dance in the air as if he was playing the piano, a look of joy plastered on his face. “My dear men, come out and block these two youngsters beside Qin Fen. Today, I also want to borrow this Federation wide broadcast to tell the military how stupid it was to hang Lance in the public.”

Two aura energy skyrocketed from the crowd as two old martial artists appeared by Aslan’s side. If anyone had seen the Federation’s honor list, they would’ve easily recognized who these two men were: they were the other two of the three terrorist generals under Aslan.

The white-haired old man with a gleaming scimitar in his hand and a long scar on his face that looked particularly fierce. Obviously, the old man didn’t want to treat the scar on his face. How could a martial artist at the peak of eighteen-star level and with human aura not have a biochemical beast? How could he be unable to heal the scar on his face?

Qin Fen recognized this man: Li Ganxuan, a native of Zhongzhou. He had a bounty of two hundred and thirty million on his head. His head was worth a little bit less than Lance. It wasn’t because he had carried out fewer terrorist attacks than Lance but rather because of his strength. There were too few people who could arrest him. The Federation’s bounty was nothing more than a way to show that he was a wanted man, that’s all.

The red-bearded old man, posing as a European medieval knight with a medieval knight’s long sword and armor and having the similar strength of eighteen-star level and human aura energy, was proudly looking at Sky Splitter – Brooks, who was at Qin Fen’s left-hand side.

Gallon was a native of Texas. He had a bounty of three hundred and ten million on his head.

Solomon, who was hovering in the air, landed next to Brooks and patted his shoulder. “Take care of my wife. I just married today, I need to decorate everything in red.”

A red spear fell down from the sky and pierced the ground beside Solomon. Without even looking up, he knew that the spear was thrown by Mourad. In a fight between experts, the side with the weapon occupied an advantage over the side without the weapon, more often than not. At present, Solomon was the third strongest in Qin Fen’s squad. He picked up the long spear without any further ado and rose into the sky with a stomp, aiming directly for Gallon.

Qin Fen slowly rose into the air and looked straight at the three people before his eyes. Today, all the most elite members of the terrorist group had taken action. “From today on, the terrorist group’s vitality will be greatly damaged. They will no longer have any deterrence. I believe it won’t be long before terrorist threats will, at least temporarily, stop completely.”

Aslan looked at Qin Fen. “You are very confident. Young man, there is a fine line between confidence and arrogance. After today, the strength of Saturn’s Army will plummet and terrorism will prevail.”

“That…you have to ask my blade.” Xue Tian, placing the katana on his shoulders, stared straight at Aslan; he didn’t even pay so much as a glance at his opponent-to-be, Li Ganxuan. “Since you want to use the Federation wide broadcast to advertise your terrorism for free, we don’t mind getting famous before the world, becoming world-famous really.”

Aslan sized up Xue Tian meticulously, furrowing his brow. He looked extremely displeased judging by the gaze in his eyes. This boy really disgusts me. There is a dreadful sharpness hiding under that laziness, like…like it’s still asleep.

“Well!? Tathagata!?” The corner of Aslan’s brow suddenly twitched as he looked forty degrees to his left. “I didn’t think I would get to see one of the three outstanding heroes of East Asia’s Army back then: Li Tathagata. You came really fast. Do you want to pick up a bargain? I have to apologize, I’m afraid you won’t have a chance to pick up the bargain. I don’t need to exert that much strength to kill them.”

Elysium’s Tathagata! When the pushing and squeezing crowd heard Aslan’s words, they looked up into the distance, one after another. A man in a camouflage army uniform was hovering high up in the air. He was particularly burly. His two-point-three-meter tall body made him look like a mountain of flesh. Not a shred of murderous intent could be found on his face. His eyebrows were a faint golden. And from beginning to the end, he never opened his eyes; his eyes remained shut. His short hair fluttered occasionally under the strong wind in the air.

One of the three heroes of the East Asia Army!? Elysium’s Tathagata!? Qin Fen looked at the man hovering over the stadium. This is the rumored Elysium’s Tathagata! Why did Aslan call him one of the three heroes of the East Asia Army? This enemy killed Gun King!

Tathagata’s eyes remained shut. He did not make any response to Qin Fen’s killing intent whatsoever and spoke slowly in a calm voice to Aslan, “Aslan, I have discussed your bounty with the Federation. Now, your bounty has been raised to ten billion. Thank you for your contribution to Elysium’s construction.”

“Ten billion!” A sharp gleam blossomed in Xue Tian’s eyes. Immediately, a bright gleam flashed as the crisp grating noise of a katana being drawn from its sheath sounded. “Aslan, your head is mine!”

Very few experts of the martial dao master level were short of money. Nonetheless, if it was a sum as big as ten billion, even peerless experts would be somewhat tempted.

“Ten billion!?” Aslan touched his neck as a smile appeared on his lips. “The Federation is too stingy. I’m not selling my head for such a low price.”

Tathagata continued smiling with closed eyes. “Now, it’s your turn to decide. Today, Inferno and Elysium have decided that there will not be any battle between us just to round you up. Later, King Qin Fuang, Jade Emperor, and Kṣitigarbha will be coming. At that time…”

Aslan’s indifferent eyes could no longer maintain his eyes filled with destruction anymore. Suprise and worry flickered in his eyes momentarily. In the face of a lone Tathagata, there was still a chance of escape. But if King Qin Guang was added to the mix, he would die without a shred of doubt. And if he encountered either Jade Emperor or Kṣitigarbha, he would lose even the chance to escape.

‘Encircled by the four strongest experts of Saturn!? Aslan knew that even if he really entered the harmony of man and nature state in the battle, had his strength skyrocket, he would still not have the chance to escape. Whether it was Tathagata or King Qin Guang, or Ksithigarbha or Jade Emperor, all of them were rumored to have the strength of constellation warriors. Kṣitigarbha and Jade Emperor among them claimed to have the strength of top-level constellation warriors. Also, because they were strong from the start, those constellation warriors competing for the divine beast title didn’t rush to Saturn to compete for the divine beast of Saturn immediately after the death of Venus’ White Tiger.

“Don’t worry, I will not make a move before you have killed Qin Fen.” Tathagata, with his arms crossed before his chest, smiled coldly. “Du Hen is still so naive, what Snake King? It would be better to change his name to Naive King. He actually believes that a divine beast martial artist can be born under an army-like rigid machine!? This is the person you sent to Saturn to compete with us for the divine beast title!? Unfortunately, he might fall today.”

“Old Qin…” Xue Tian, turning his head and looking at Tathagata, said with a bright smile, “Why don’t we ignore the Terrorist King or whatever for today? Let’s behead Tathagata first, what do you think? Didn’t you always want to kill him, avenge Uncle Gun King?”

Aslan suddenly let out a long roar, louder and fiercer than the exclamation of the hundreds of thousands of people.

Right at the same time, his body quivered as the air around him seemed to be gathering into his body. Immediately after, the air behind him was compressed and fired like a rocket booster, pushing him violently.

Surprise attack! Aslan was quite clear that if his head was worth ten billion, then Jade Emperor and the others would not mind making a move this once. Tathagata’s appearance meant that it was most likely true.

The long shout drowned the screamings of the crowd. The people struggling to squeeze into the channel slipped from the shockwave; a large number of people sat directly on the ground as their legs and feet grew numb. The terror hiding under that long howl felt as if it could pierce the human soul.

The police that were busy maintaining the order finally sighed in relief at this moment.

Qin Fen, on the other hand, didn’t launch an attack when Aslan howled and moved. The people around him could not influence his state of mind. In his eyes, all that remained at this moment was this Terrorist King.

As the saying goes, don’t try to bite more than you can chew. Even Tathagata’s appearance could not distract him. Any kind of distraction would lead to defeat. Aslan’s Earth Aura of the nineteen-star level was far more terrifying than Nezha’s. So, this is the so-called first terrorist leader in the Federation. If I kill these three people, terrorist activities in the Federation will take a big blow.

The huge stadium in the eyes of a Terrorist King like Aslan was next to nothing. The moment he made his move, his five fingers converged like a blade and slashed straight at Qin Fen’s forehead.

“Earth Aura pushing the back, irrigating the entire body. Eight Extreme Fists’ Exerting Strength and Moving Towards the Door Regardless of Anything!”

Qin Fen was a little surprised. Much to his surprise, an expert like Aslan hadn’t created his own martial technique. He had used Eight Extreme Fists both times he attacked. And this Moving Towards the Door Regardless of Anything was even more brilliant; he had reached the point of perfection in it. Every part of it was filled with explosive force, changing every second, ignoring the rear and the front, ignoring the left and right, ignoring up and down. Moving Towards the Door Regardless of Anything focused only on the opponent’s life and death. Only then could it display the extreme.

Avoid or take him head-on! If I avoid, Aslan will break his way out of the encirclement completely. And once he escapes this time, it will be difficult to capture him again.

A simple fitness exercise in the hands of an expert like Aslan was another concept entirely. If Qin Fen retreated in the face of the immense aura energy gathered in his palm, he would not mind releasing this aura energy to let the audience on the ground feel how strong an expert of Earth Aura Energy was, let them know what it was called to die without any pain.

In the face of this attack, Qin Fen blocked it with the left arm and parried it outwards as Arhat Fist’s Palm Push greeted Aslan’s Moving Towards the Door Regardless of Anything.

Originally, this move was to be used with Entanglement. If it couldn’t shake off the opponent’s attack, it could weaken the opponent’s attack a little bit at the very least. And then right after, one would grab the opponent with Entanglement and then switch to Bone Dislocation and Breaking Tendon technique. It was perfect.

Even if one wasn’t a martial artist of the divine fists, a majority of them would dislocate the opponent’s wrist using the bone dislocation and tendon splitting technique the same time they chose to block.

Qin Fen’s Palm Push didn’t push Aslan away. Nonetheless, he took Aslan head-on, and his body slid off to one side as he thrust the right hand positioned at his waist, thrusting it towards Aslan’s throat while creating a vacuum in the air in his path.

It was a variant of Sky-Piercing Standing Cannon, Like a Cannon Like a Spear!

Qin Fen didn’t fight head-on. He needed to keep some strength to deal with Tathagata! Even at this moment, when all his focus was on Aslan, an opponent of higher star-class, his martial artist’s instinct still allowed him to find a way to win.
