Chapter 532 - Beheaded!

“Qin Fen?” King Biancheng’s voice was very rough. He looked at Qin Fen, who was not moving, from top to bottom. There was only a slight surprise in his eyes, “The Qin Fen who rose like a comet six months ago and disappeared all of a sudden? The Qin Fen who killed Li Xianglong at the Golden Triangle not long ago?”

Lu Dongbin nodded with a grave expression, only to get a sneer from King Biancheng in return. Every couple of years, there will be some batches of the so-called genius young generations, but how many of them can actually threaten the old generation’s strong martial artists?

The younger generation was more likely to be believed by others, and the little bit of success achieved by them will be blown out of proportion! King Biancheng judged Qin Fen, and with his majestic figure, he looked down at Qin Fen, “When you went to kill Li Xianglong, how many people went with you?”

“A lot of them,” said Qin Fen in a plain tone. He scanned through the Inferno members. Strictly speaking, since the day I entered this natural cemetery, plus the time I spent on the journey, it has already been more than three days. I wonder what had happened to Xue Tian. Have they gotten the five hundred million dollar ransom yet? Who did the Inferno send to exchange with Xue Tian? Only two men from Xue Tian’s side went this time, did Yang Lie send enough people?

Boom…

The door of the new Saturn military headquarters hit the wall. Xue Tian’s voice echoed through the area, the space which was not actually hidden. It was unexpected that it was located in an ordinary office lobby.

“I am back!”

Yang Lie sat behind the commander’s desk and looked up at the lazy Xue Tian. His eyes were immediately attracted to the katana on Xue Tian’s waist. Even though the cold katana was lying in the scabbard peacefully, he, as a first-class martial artist among the younger generation, could still smell the thick bloody smell in the scabbard.

In other words, Xue Tian… killed! Yang Lie’s gaze crossed Xue Tian as he looked at Solomon’s hands; his hands were slender and white, more like a pianist’s hands than a weapon. They were very beautiful, but they also gave out a faint bloody smell.

Solomon… killed as well!

Yang Lie frowned and stared at Xue Tian. He reached out and asked, “Where is the money?”

Xue Tian sat down on the sofa with hands behind his head and smirked, “I didn’t get it.”

Oh?” Yang Lie tilted his head softly, “Why?”

“They didn’t even plan to pay the ransom at all.” Xue Tian casually threw his katana on the coffee table in front of him, “I went there with Solomon. The guy who proclaimed to be the Eighth Inferno King turned out to be a new replacement king after the original Eighth Inferno King was killed not long ago. He felt that he did not have many thugs and thought that we could be his thugs. So he arrogantly offered me an annual salary of ten million and asked me to be his thug. If I don’t agree, he’ll…”

“Kill you?” Yang Lie leaned back against the swivel chair, “That’s bold! Was he not afraid that we will go to the Elysium?”

“He was indeed very bold.” Xue Tian took the tea from Yang Lie’s newly recruited female secretary, “Darling, what is your name? Do you have a boyfriend? What do you think about me? Aren’t I more handsome than your boss? Hey, don’t go! I swear I’m not a creep…”

Yang Lie looked at Xue Tian’s behavior. He was a little regretful in recruiting a beautiful secretary. I should have recruited a less pretty one so she wouldn’t get annoyed by Xue Tian. 

“Right, where was I just now? Oh!” Xue Tian swigged the tea, “That guy was very bold. He led a gang of martial dao masters and provoked us. He bluntly told us about the grudge between Qin Fen and the Elysium, saying that we could just cooperate with Elysium. Then he offered us two choices, either to let their men go and to work under him as thugs for the ten million dollars annual salary or get whacked to death by them. I was about to bargain with him, who knows…”

Xue Tian looked at Solomon who was drinking tea in silence next to him. Solomon looked very gentlemanly and harmless, just like an intellectual. “Solomon started it right away. He killed someone on the spot. Was it Bullhead or Horse Face? Anyway, I didn’t recognize them. As a result, City King was angry. He pulled out his sword and wanted to kill me. I was not the one to be blamed, it had nothing to do with me! It was Solomon who killed that guy! But he refused to talk with me and insisted on killing me to get revenge for his subordinate. So, tell me, what could I do in this situation?”

Xue Tian raised his hands and shrugged. Yang Lie rhythmically knocked on the table with his fingers. He looked just like a leader who was listening to his subordinate reporting, and he asked slowly, “So, you whacked him?”

“I am just defending myself!” Xue Tian shook his head innocently, “He insisted on killing me, he didn’t consider the victim’s standpoint at all.”

Yang Lie nodded cooperatively. The strength of Xue Tian has to be re-evaluated. Rumor has it that the Ten Kings of Inferno were all very strong. Apart from the group of people under the divine beasts martial artists, they could be the real top experts among all human beings today. But Xue Tian came back without any injuries, and that katana did not have any scratches as well. He slashed the Eighth Inferno King without any hesitation.

Solomon put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Xue Tian very seriously. Yang Lie became intrigued. Usually, this Solomon always acted crazily, why was he so quiet today?

“You harassed White Impermanence, so Horse Face started to attack…”

Yang Lie’s fingers which were knocking on the table suddenly became stiff, and what he imagined to be the scene of that time came into his mind. The scene at the time was probably City King showing off in front of Xue Tian. But Xue Tian was not an underdog. He knew that he certainly couldn’t get the ransom this time, and he had already offended the Inferno, so he simply went and flirted with White Impermanence, the subordinate of the Inferno King, in front of him. Consequently, Horse Face was annoyed and made his move, which led to the result in the end.

“You have killed them all?” Yang Lie asked again.

“No.” Xue Tian shook his head. “As soon as they saw that I slashed their boss, they immediately turned around and left. In the end, White Impermanence ran away with an Inferno judge, and the others died. It was easy to accidentally injure civilians in the downtown area. ”

Yang Lie raised his hands and couldn’t care less, “This is indeed a problem. If there are similar cases next time, we’ll set the meeting place in a remote area.”

Xue Tian raised his thumb, “It’s a good suggestion.”

Yang Lie stood up from his chair and looked into the distance through the huge french window, “I wonder how Qin Fen is doing now. To obtain new energy and new metals, there will be a lot of trouble for him as well.”

—

“A lot of them?” King Biancheng was unimpressed and nodded. This answer was not unexpected. It was not surprising that a martial artist like Li Xianglong was besieged by a group of young men and killed by them. Rumor has it that there were around ten people in Qin Fen’s team.

King Biancheng was more focused on Lan Caihe, who consistently roared deeply like a beast and let out his intense hostility that felt like a slicing knife. Perhaps it was this monster that killed the several experts here?

Lu Dongbin looked at King Biancheng who couldn’t care less, and he sneered to himself. He couldn’t help planning in his mind to provoke both Qin Fen and Inferno. At this moment, King Biancheng is quite likely to be easily provoked into a fight with Qin Fen. In this way, we can use Qin Fen to get rid of the three masters of Inferno.

Lu Dongbin sensed vigilance from the Seventh King Taishan. He then looked at Qin Fen, who stood there like a pillar supporting the sky. He sighed to himself and gave up on this tempting idea.

As for now… Lu Dongbin had to admit that in this natural cemetery, Elysium’s biggest enemy was not Inferno, but Qin Fen! Even if they used Qin Fen to get rid of the Inferno, the Elysium wouldn’t get any new energy and new metals either. Qin Fen is way stronger than he was half a year ago. I wonder what he went through for his martial dao in the past six months…

“Join forces with Inferno? To get rid of Qin Fen?”

Lu Dongbin was amused by his own thoughts. He wouldn’t even dream of such an absurd idea in the past. But now, as they faced with Qin Fen who took off the Jungle Ranger and appeared in an invincible state, their only chance was to join forces in killing Qin Fen. Then, they would take a gamble with Inferno. After killing Qin Fen, see which side would still have people left, in order to obtain new energy and new metals.

Lu Dongbin was confident that as a long-distance fighter himself, Elysium would probably be the side that could retain their strength towards the end. The five masters could not kill Qin Fen just now, but now they could have six masters instead of five! Moreover, they would have an eighteen-star martial artist added to their side. The overall strength could be much stronger than before!

Adding a strong martial artist of seventeen-star to the team, and adding a strong martial artist of eighteen-star, these were two completely different concepts. Furthermore…

Lu Dongbin could vaguely feel that this Seventh Inferno King was not just powerful, he had a peaked Humanity Aura Shield that Lan Caihe never had before!

Lan Caihe had already owned the Humanity Aura Shield before he became an insect warrior. Becoming an insect warrior had improved his star-level, but it did not enhance his Humanity Aura Shield at all. The Seventh Inferno King, King Taishan, was different. He had a clear mind; his Humanity Aura Shield was way stronger than Lan Caihe’s. The only flaw was that he was not as violent and fearless as Lan Caihe. It could be difficult to judge who would win if the two were to fight each other, but if they joined forces to kill someone, they could have immeasurable power!

“Tie Guaili and the others…..” King Taishan looked at Lu Dongbin with doubts. His words were loaded with uncertainties. He asked in disbelief, “They were killed by Qin Fen?”

Lu Dongbin, with a miserable expression, nodded slowly. The Inferno side muttered in surprise. These people were the top experts of Elysium, but two of them died in the hands of Qin Fen.

The Seventh Inferno King narrowed his eyes, and he questioned again in a surprised tone, “He fought them all at once?”

Lu Dongbin and He Xiangu, with their pale faces, nodded together. Their silent body language had well expressed their helplessness. Being the top experts of the Elysium, they would receive great attention wherever they were. They were the real top martial artists among the human race, but they couldn’t even take down this junior.

“Just now, five of us……” Lu Dongbin pointed at the two comrades who were dead and the other two who were alive, then at Qin Fen, “We wanted to kill this young man together, but two of us were killed by him. And……”

“What?!”

Lu Dongbin breathed heavily, his chest movement was apparent, “He never even changed his standing position.”
