The battle was much smoother than how Qin Fen had imagined. The Unity of Man and Nature, which was launched by the master and his old friend, brought improvements to everyone. The improvements were far beyond anyone’s imagination.
The short battle had caused the strongest nine Devil Kings under the Queen Bee to feel unease and rush to the battle locations.
When the nine Devil Kings arrived at the scene, Yang Lie and the others had already dragged the bodies of the Devil Marshals that they had killed out of Pandora; leaving the nine Devil Kings unable to do anything but roar at the sky.
“Luckily I didn’t take your martial dao road.” Yang Lie looked happily at the Devil Marshal which was killed by his hand, “You are too much of a tyrant. You simply beat him up to the last bits. It is not suitable for specimen study…”
Brooks carried the Devil Marshal’s body, which was split in half, and agreed vehemently.
Du Peng, who was standing beside them with blood all over him, didn’t speak. His martial arts technique destined that he couldn’t bring back a complete body. Enduring his seriously injured waist caused by Devil Marshal, he blasted and chopped his opponent to pieces. It was a miracle that he came back alive, let alone bringing a specimen back.
Qin Fen looked at everyone’s smile, and then looked at the screens, at those who were roaring at the sky from the distance. He turned and said to the Number One, “Open a dimensional crack for me and find any Devil Marshal.”
“Ironback Centipede Devil Marshal’s special traits include a solid body that is more rigid than all known alloys; its mouth contains deadly poison; its teeth can bite off all the alloys that are currently known; its whole body can suddenly swell up with steel needles and become a porcupine-like monster…”
Number One’s introduction was not yet completed when Qin Fen stepped into the dimensional crack. It was like a simple door: simply push the door open and one could see the scene behind the door.
The green vegetation and the blue sky revealed indescribable tranquility. This tranquility was completely disrupted by the raging devil beast’s roar the moment Qin Fen appeared.
The trees with diameters of several hundred meters shook and the trees collapsed one after another following the shake, as if a huge knife had cut down all of the trees in a flash. The moist yellowish-black soil rose up with its body, which was more than three meters in height, dragging a four-meter-long tail. The standing devil beast looked somehow disproportionate. Behind it was a pair of huge insect-shaped wings flapping swiftly.
“Almost the strongest Devil Marshal…”
Number One’s words were still echoing in the room and Qin Fen had already raised his fist to face the devil beast in the projection screen. He punched it on the tail, which was said to be able to tear apart any metal, exploding the tail directly. Qin Fen jumped in the air and executed three consecutive Dragon Guards, shifting himself directly to the Devil Marshal’s back. He punched the Devil Marshal’s spine and then hit consecutively at Devil Marshal’s wings as well as its teeth.
In less than half a second, the strongest Devil Marshal’s tail was torn off, its teeth were broken, its body’s spine was shattered, and the bones of the hands and feet were also shattered; leaving only a live Devil Marshal screaming sorrowfully.
Qin Fen’s hand once again reached out and grabbed the back of the Devil Marshal’s neck. Then, he forcibly withdrew from the dimension crack.
Fast! Fast! Fast! No one ever expected it. Everyone in the room, including Number One, were all shocked. Caught alive! In less than a second, Qin Fen broke all the bones in a Devil Marshal’s body, crippled all parts that could hurt people, and caught it alive?
Besides the Divine Beast martial artists, the Queen Bee and the nine Devil Kings, is there anyone else in this world who can still hold him back? Has the current Qin Fen’s strength reached such a terrifying and scary level where he could catch a devil beast alive, something that would normally require combined strengths to battle against? With light and easy movements, he caught the devil beast easily.
“My martial dao…” Qin Fen looked at the crowd while carrying the rebellious Devil Marshal, which constantly roared with anger and groaned with acute pain, “Can do this too.”
Competition! Little Dragon King Yang Lie’s eyes flickered a few times. Qin Fen’s aura of power that just burst out in a flash was as magnificent as a God facing humans, not allowing the opponent to resist at all. To challenge and defeat him… besides taking the new human being evolution road to become the Ice Dragon King, there was no other way.
In the projection, there was another roar.
Perhaps it was a bad and unlucky day in Pandora’s calendar, a dimensional crack that did not belong to the Founding Society opened. The height of the ‘human’ that dashed out of it was close to three meters. For a moment, the cold and sharp murderous intent was unmistakably conveyed to everyone’s martial senses even if they were just watching it from the projection screen.
Young Hades! At first sight, Qin Fen recognized this living creature which was neither a human nor a demon. It was Hades who was the pride of the younger generation martial artists on Venus back then. He was once claimed to be the strongest young man of the younger generation.
Although Hades’ appearance was completely different than normal, the aura of power was definitely unmistakable! Massacre aura! Secondary only to Military Kill Ripper and White Tiger’s massacre aura, he was probably the strongest ‘person’ in the martial dao of massacre now.
Hades also battled against a Devil Marshal, who had just received a notice of consecutive Devil Marshals’ death, and emitted a rage which was not inferior to that of the previous Devil Marshal.
Young Hades took seventeen seconds to break all the Devil Marshal’s limbs and destroy all his attacking abilities. Similar to what Qin Fen did, Hades caught the Devil Marshal alive and left.
“This…” Number One said quietly after a moment of silence, “The really horrible thing about insect warriors is that we don’t know how much suffering he has been through. Not all insect warrior transformations can trigger one to have the strength equivalent to Hades. However, this quadrillionth-chanced opportunity has been accomplished by the present Hades.”
Qin Fen nodded lightly. It wasn’t his first or second time battling with the insect warriors. Insect warriors can really stimulate human beings to become stronger, but Hades’ strength elevation was even unstoppable by a flying plane. He was one of a kind!
Everyone had their own destiny. Qin Fen believed that the legendary Shang Guan Chuan Qi of Mars could have such strength today not just because of his outstanding talent. If it wasn’t for unique encounters and destiny, it was really unbelievable that his qualifications could be compared with Zong Juelu.
“Qin Fen…” Number One said with a serious tone, “This time at the Great Ensemble, your final opponent is likely to be him. According to the information provided by Zhang Hao from the Founding Society, the insect warriors resemble a key that can open up the martial artists’ constraints, but everyone’s constraints are different. Therefore, the opening is different. Young Hades has obviously opened up more constraints than anyone else.”
“It’s hard to say.” Yang Lie smiled faintly, “Yesterday afternoon’s news said that Xue Tian had done a big job at the Azure Dragon Hall on Jupiter. I heard that all hundred and seventy-five sabers were used, and the entire Azure Dragon Hall was razed to the ground. Finally, carrying the last hundred and seventy-sixth saber, Xue Tian left Jupiter laughing, his whole body covered in blood.”
Everyone nodded. Xue Tian! He is the person with the most potential to challenge Qin Fen!
“Mars’ legend can’t be underestimated.” Number One reminded, “Also, don’t look down on Jade Emperor and Ground Treasury. This time the Divine Beasts have teamed up to make a half-year agreement, and you younger generation are rising strongly. If the huge pressure cannot crush these two old pros, it will definitely turn into motivation for them! They are the last defense line for the old pros against the young pros, and they must not be underestimated! The old pros have their own unique advantage.”
Old pros! Everyone’s face changed simultaneously. This era has become very different from the previous martial artists’ era because of Qin Fen.
It had always been a long and hard, and perhaps even impossible, road for the younger generation to challenge the old pro generation.
If one did the maths, only the rumored Azure Dragon of the younger generation had managed to successfully challenge and defeat the old pros. The remaining old pros were defeated by other old pros to become the Divine Beast martial artists.
However, today, everything had changed! Under the leadership of Qin Fen, the younger generation had shown a boost in strength that had never been seen before. Everyone chased and pursued; no one stopped. This led to the continuous rise of strength which caused a situation that was perceived as somewhat abnormal in the eyes of others.
The younger generation pros always only had one peak! Meanwhile, in this generation, due to the mutual stimulation influence, the younger generation now had four men who were absolutely qualified to challenge the old martial artists! Even Yang Lie and the others were almost qualified to challenge the old pros.
Qin Fen, Xue Tian, Shang Guan Chuan Qi, and Hades! Put any of these four young men in the previous era, and they would be the pride of that era’s martial artists. However, they had appeared in the same generation, and the three of them were likely to become the stepping stones for one of them to reach the highest point.
“Generations…” Brooks smiled, “Will always change.”
Qin Fen looked at the constantly struggling Devil Marshal in his hand and looked at Number One, “So, we’ll leave first. If anything else happens, feel free to let us know. If the Queen Bee gives birth in advance, remember to tell us immediately. That should be her weakest moment.”
“Alright!”
Number One knew that the Queen Bee’s strength was too powerful! If it was a battle in a fair environment, even if all the current Divine Beast martial artists united to fight against her, perhaps even a tragic victory couldn’t be achieved.
This was the evolution direction. The earliest evolution direction of mankind was science and technology, and then there was martial dao. However, these were not as strong as the devil beasts’ inborn body evolution direction.
If we add on the nine Devil Kings that were comparable to the Divine Beast martial artists, the Federation’s martial artists had no chance of winning.
The Queen Bee’s delivery period was definitely the best chance! At that moment, the nine Devil Kings will be distracted taking care of the Queen Bee, and the Queen Bee will be in her frailest state. If all the Divine Beast martial artists teamed up with Qin Fen and other young generation pros, maybe there is a chance to turn the tables!
“Recalculating once again! Simulate the calculation again!”
After Qin Fen and others left, Number One once again began to mobilize all his brainpower to match the computer. He calculated the Queen Bee’s delivery time again, hoping to finalize the time on a specific day instead of a certain month, which was such an ambiguous, broad, and general timeframe.
