Chapter 216: Intimidating Qin Fen, Violent Qin Fen

Chapter 216: Intimidating Qin Fen, Violent Qin Fen

Qin Fen and the others were led to Wang Hao’s territory. They requested two private rooms to meditate in rather than immediately meeting up with Wang Hao.

Chen Feiyu needed to practice the revised martial arts in order to recover from the bodily damages he suffered from the overbearing power he had experienced during his previous practice. At the same time, he would undergo a breakthrough, something he had not done in years.

Qin Fen, on the other hand, was busy finishing up the revision for the first six layers of practice. He was also modifying the way of his practice, in order to create his very own Dragon Fist.

Dragons were once the symbols of the emperor.

Throughout the years, reserved and feminine individuals never managed to become emperor.

Only the tough was able to show monarchism.

After retreating for more than ten days, Qin Fen managed to integrate various fist techniques that he understood and absorbed from his previous encounters.

Using the Dragon Fist as base, Qin Fen created an initial model of the Iron Fist by merging martial techniques he had learned from old butlers: the Raging Berserker Tide and other combat skills.

Having completed a brand new set of fist technique, Qin Fen opened his eyes, slightly surprised. Lin Ling welcomed him with a congratulatory expression.

The true energy within his body was strong, like the currents of a river. Qin Fen was slightly taken aback by the strength of a six-star martial artist.

The continuous life and death combat that Qin Fen faced ever since he entered the military camp had not only increased his physical strength but also his mental strength. His level of ability had continued to increase within just a short period of time.

Martial artists would enter a period of high-speed promotion in martial artists’ star-class upon reaching the age of eighteen. Qin Fen already had some preparation regarding this aspect, but he never thought that the speed of promotion would be so fast.

His initial intention was just to create his own fist technique. He never expected the energy within his body to increase so rapidly the moment he crafted his fist technique. He broke through the five-star bottleneck that he had been struggling with in such a coincidental way.

His strength immediately went from the peak of a five-star into the six-star realm.

Qin Fen looked up at the surveillance camera at the corner of the ceiling and sighed softly.

Performing this task was great, but at the same time bad as well.

The chance to train with so many seasoned soldiers, witness the special occasion of Gruesome Madness, and the chance to nurture murderousness from the life and death combat…with all these opportunities, he was able to accumulate enough knowledge to build his very own martial art scripture, successfully entering the six-star.

The only pity was that there was a surveillance camera watching. Hence, the room was not suitable for him to thoroughly go through the procedure of the technique.

If only he could properly practice, he could probably increase his true energy even more along with this breakthrough. It was indeed a pity.

Lin Ling stepped forward and tiptoed. She gently pecked Qin Fen’s cheeks with her lips and walked into his embrace.

With the presence of the surveillance camera, the two were careful to not raise any suspicion. Qin Fen held Lin Ling in his embrace and gently kissed her head.

They pushed open the door and saw that there were two guards who were already waiting for them. They looked curiously at Qin Fen. In the past few days, Wang Hao had already fought twice with Wu Lianda over this outsider who had yet to join any organization. Is he really that valuable?

The two soldiers then led Qin Fen onto the road to meet Wang Hao. Along their way, everyone threw Qin Fen a gaze filled with doubt.

“General, Qin Fen has returned from his retreat.”

The soldiers calmly reported as they stood outside the hall as if they did not see Wu Lianda, who was there as a guest.

“Oh? The person who killed my men is finally out.”

Wu Lianda gave Wang Hao an insincere smile. This time, he did not come alone. Instead, he brought along a special envoy sent by the honorary president.

Wu Lianda would not have the guts to enter the middle of Wang Hao’s territory if the honorary president’s special envoy, Mr. Penalo was not there.

Wang Hao’s face sunk slightly. The end of Qin Fen’s retreat indicated that Wu Lianda did not have to spend money on hiring the honorary president’s special envoys any longer. This was indeed not so good news.

According to the rules of the Golden Triangle, the price of hiring the honorary president’s special envoys were calculated by day. With each day of hire, one would need to pay an amount that even generals would see as extremely expensive.

Wu Lianda had already stayed here for five days. His banknotes had been endlessly flowing each day like streams of water. If Qin Fen were to retreat for months and Wu Lianda continued to hire specials envoys just to stay here, he would be headed into bankruptcy.

Wang Hao could only hope that Wu Lianda’s forces could be taken down without the need of a single soldier. That way, the whole province would be under his influence alone, and his power would definitely rise.

“Little General Wang, aren’t you going to invite him in?” There was a hint of pain in Wu Lianda’s smile. He had spent days researching Qin Fen through a variety of sources. The more information he gathered, the more restless he got.

He was only a three-star when he got enlisted, yet he managed to achieve five-star within a short timespan. From Qin Fen’s journey of killing and slaughtering to make his way into the Golden Triangle, Wu Lianda believed that if he were to be put in the same position with the same level of strength, he would not have survived even one-third of the journey.

Plus, if he were to bring a lady along with him, he would not have survived even one-fifth of the journey due to the nature of their relationship regardless of how skillful the lady could have been.

Wang Hao threw a quick glance at the honorary presidential special envoy. He could only sigh quietly. His current strength was still insufficient in contending the entire Golden Triangle.

“Let them come in.”

As he heard the helplessness in Wang Hao’s order, Wu Lianda felt that the money he spent didn’t go to waste.

As soon as Qin Fen and Lin Ling walked into the hall hand in hand, Wu Lianda’s eyes immediately went wide. The usual calm and steady Wu Lianda could not hold back his astonishment.

Wang Hao, who was sitting peacefully also let out a “Yee?”

He did not expect that Qin Fen’s strength could be pushed to another level within just a few days, and what more, to the extent of a six-star.

For a moment, Qin Fen’s weight in the hearts of the two generals increased again.

It was rare for someone to reach the six-star level at such a young age. Nevermind that there were only a few on Earth, even if all the other planets within the Federation were taken into account, there were still not many of them.

Such a young genius has never even appeared in the Golden Triangle.

Even if he were to face a martial bottleneck in the future, his future abilities should not be underestimated at all. With such a young age, he could transform a huge amount of money into medications like the Evolution Pearl to help him reach higher star-class.

The honorary presidential special envoy who had a straight face all this while also showed amazement. A young man having such strength is too shocking!

At that time, the three different people in the hall had the same thought.

“Kid, you dared to kill my men. How courageous.”

Wu Lianda had a gloomy expression. He had made a pre-emptive speech with the intention that Wang Hao would have nothing to say. From this, he could successfully eliminate this future threat.

Wang Hao did not speak immediately as he observed Qin Fen quietly. A martial artists genius was indeed rare, but if he wasn’t courageous enough, his innate skills would not matter at all. He needed to make a more holistic evaluation.

Qin Fen was cold toward Wu Lianda’s piercing gaze, “He wanted to kill me, so I killed him first.”

Wu Lianda’s eyebrows twitched a little. Even seasoned soldiers who have fought various battles would find it hard to remain calm at his fierce gaze. Qin Fen’s anchoring force that allowed him to remain unshaken was enough reason to get him killed.

“He wanted to kill you?” Wu Lianda sneered, “What would a two-star martial artist use to kill you? Kid, the reason you killed my men was because you still wanted to live at a king’s place despite having no money, right? This incident happened before you joined Little Wang General’s force. Technically, we should still take this into account.”

“Old General Wu, it is not right for you to speak like this. Regardless of what he did before, he has joined my organization. He is now one of my men.”

At that time, Wang Hao had to speak up. Conflict might arise if he were to remain silent. All the hidden losses from previous outside battles with Wu Lianda’s men would be for nothing.

“Why?” Wu Lianda’s looked at him, baffled, and said with a sharp voice, “Little General Wang, are you trying to be nosey and disobey the rules?”

As he had the honorary presidential special envoy with him, Wu Lianda was not afraid of whatever Wang Hao was playing. Unless he wanted to rely on the thousands of guns that he had to fight all generals at the Golden Triangle.

Otherwise, regardless of how arrogant Wu Lianda was, Wang Hao could only glare at him so long as he did not do anything that was against the rules.

“Old General Wu…” Wang Hao’s tone suddenly got heavy, “I am also filled with remorse for your loss. According to the rules, I can also pay you double the amount of that person’s value, and this event can be considered history. What do you think?”

Wu Lianda turned his wrist over and pointed at Qin Fen with his iron crutch, “If I killed this man, took away this woman, and gave you a ton of powder as compensation, would you accept?”

Wang Hao supported his chin with one hand and looked at Wu Lianda. His eyebrows were constantly twitching.

Wu Lianda held his crutch in his hand, returning the glare to Wang Hao along with a sneer.

The murderous aura in the room was getting thicker and thicker. The guards in the hall reacted on their conditioned reflex, pulled open the bolts and aimed directly at Wu Lianda.

Together along with the sound of the metal’s collision, Wu Lianda’s personal bodyguards also pointed their guns at Wang Hao, who was supporting his chin with one hand.

The two generals looked at each other coldly, as if they had not noticed that deadly firearms were already aligned with their bodies.

“Enough, put away all the guns.” The special envoy who had been quiet throughout the whole ordeal said in a long draggy tone, “Let’s stick to the old rules, the gamble of life and death. General Wang Hao shall bet his man, which is this disobedient fella, and General Wu Lianda shall bet his resources, which is a ton of powder, as quoted by the General. If the boy lives, the powder goes to General Wang Hao, and the case is then closed. If the boy dies, the body and the woman shall go to General Wu Lianda, and the case is then closed.”

Wu Lianda’s cold face showed a smile. He would already be satisfied if he was able to kill Qin Fen, but if he could also get the girl, he would then have to stay home for several days to concentrate on nurturing this perfect little lady.

Wang Hao put away the arm that was supporting his chin, leaned against the back of the chair, and sighed heavily. He still did not have the power to fight a special envoy.

Wu Lianda cackled, “Kid, I’ll see how much longer you can maintain your calmness. Don’t think that I will not be able to kill you just because the rules restrict me from sending a martial artist who is two stars higher than you. Even if there isn’t going to be an eight-star martial artist, you will still die!”

“Can I raise the bet?”

Qin Fen’s quiet question made the three big bosses in the house express surprise at the same time.

The gamble of life and death had taken place many times, but they had never encountered a participant of the gamble who proposed to raise the bet.

“What do you want to add?” The special envoy looked at Qin Fen with full interest. It had been a long time since he last came across such an interesting young man.

“I have a little money on me.” Although Qin Fen still appeared calm, his eyes had begun to show a glimmer of excitement, “Can I bet that I would win?”

The special envoy looked at Wu Lianda with a half smile. As the party that was betting with powder, he was the only one who was qualified to decide whether the bet could be raised.

“No problem.” Wu Lianda said with a very open mind, “I remember that you once fought a very expensive battle at Gruesome Madness. How about I pay you a one to ten ratio? ”

“Giving me millions?” Qin Fen rolled his shoulders, “Let’s get started.”

“No need to rush.” Wu Lianda gave Qin Fen a sinister smile. He looked at Wang Hao, who was contemplating quietly, “Little General Wang, I intend to arrange this gamble of life and death at the death pool located in your territory.”

“Death pool?”

Wang Hao’s body shook a little. His eyes showed an eagerness in wanting to figure out Wu Lianda’s plan.

In the Golden Triangle, there was a death pool located in every general’s territory.

It was a huge pool that was built by using reinforced concrete, and the pools in each territory were all different in size.

According to the rules, that was the place to deal with traitors.

Of course, the word “deal” actually meant kill.

Obviously, the killing was not done simply, but rather, through a torturous process. In the most brutal way, the traitor would die along with his most painful cry. This was so that other people would not dare to betray them after witnessing such a cruel scene.

Wang Hao nodded slightly and walked slowly down the steps towards Qin Fen. He raised his hand, patted Qin Fen’s shoulder and whispered, “Be careful…”

“Little General Wang, please don’t break the rules.” Wu Lianda sneered as he followed behind him, “I don’t want to see you, this newly rising general, have your territory taken away by the president general just because you disobeyed the rules.”

Wang Hao’s heavily let out a cold humph and said nothing else.

According to the rules, he was not allowed to provide any information to participants of the bet. Otherwise, he would become a member of those who have broken rules. If that happened, he would have no choice but to get the special envoy and Wu Lianda killed in order to live.

But that would mean going against the entire Golden Triangle and would only result in a tragic death.

Qin Fen held Lin Ling’s hand and quietly followed the crowd out of the hall, all the way to the most remote corner of Wang Hao’s territory.

The death pool here was a thousand square meters large with twenty meters deep. If an ordinary martial artists fell in with no equipment to assist, there would not be much likelihood in him coming up besides from the walkway.

That day, there were already tens of skeletons in the pit. There were blood stains everywhere, as well as a faint stench.

Qin Fen’s sense of smell was particularly sensitive. He squeezed his nose and frowned in disgust.

“This way.”

Ten people armed with miniature submachine guns pointed their guns towards Qin Fen’s direction. There was a small house not too far from there; it was the gateway to the death pool.

Qin Fen had walked into the death pool four times. The bloody smell and the deathly aura was the kind to create a sense of oppression in people.

Wu Lianda folded his hands on his crutch and sneered coldly at Qin Fen, who was standing in the death pool, “Death pool, death pool. It seems that no one has ever been able to escape from the death pool. Your death awaits you the moment you enter. Men! Go get the thing that’s fighting for our side.”

Wang Hao’s eyes were violently twitching again.

He was already clear of what was meant when the word “thing” was used instead of “martial artist”.

A large container truck drove into the bumpy roads of the yard, letting out a loud roaring sound. A crane followed behind.

A sudden break was heard, the red container opened slowly. Inside was a cage made with thick steel pillars.

The creature that was living in this cage had its big yellow eyes immediately light up as it saw the people around him. A deafening roar came from its mouth as its saliva flew everywhere.

“This is…”

Wang Hao looked at the beast in front of him and was a little stunned.

The monster’s body was much larger than a camel. Its skin was not covered by the usual beast’s mane, but instead by fish-like scales. It looked like a gorilla, but its extremely sharp claws were flashing. Its tail was huge and covered with porcupine-like spikes, just like the Western legendary dragons.

“I don’t know what this thing is called.” Wu Lianda looked proudly at the behemoth in front of him, “I just know that I had spent a huge amount of effort in order to get it.”

The chill in Wang Hao’s eyes was increasing. Who knew when these biological variants started to exist on Earth? Not only did these monstrous beasts appear on land, but they also roamed the skies and seas.

These things seemed to have appeared in various locations on Earth overnight. Even the most advanced military satellites were not able to understand their sudden appearance.

These mutated creatures were not only highly aggressive in power and agility, they also had higher intelligence compared to Earth’s existing animals.

Luckily, there weren’t a lot of creatures like these endangering the other animals on Earth. On the contrary, they rarely actively attack other animals. Instead, they showed only great desire for attacking humans.

In addition to the military’s usual mission in counter-terrorism, they also had another important task. That was to hunt down these extremely powerful and aggressive mutations from time to time.

Also, in order to cooperate with the Federation’s research, they would trap these beasts in a certain area rather than destroying them completely.

Such beasts were also extremely valuable to many wealthy collectors. Soon enough, many of the rich gave up collecting antiques and started to collect these mutated beasts instead.

Of course, the more violent the beast, the more expensive the price would be.

The crane drove to grab the enormous cage, lifting it slowly from the vehicle into the bloody death pool.

Wang Hao’s eyes had already begun to show his cold desire for murder, “General Wu, please obey the rules of the Golden Triangle. You are not allowed to send out an eight-star or above…”

“I did not send out an eight-star or above martial artist.” Wu Lianda pointed to the extremely restless fish-scaled gorilla in the cage with his iron crutch. “This thing is only an eight-star biological mutation. It is not human, hence not a martial artist.”

Wang Hao clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. He forgot to clarify things before the battle, as these mutations were only of a small circle of living beings. Unknowingly, this old fox managed to find a loophole and have his way.

“Qin Fen…” Lin Ling said softly out of worry.

The soothing voice entered into Wu Lianda’s ears, and it was as if the words stimulated his sexual excitement.

Qin Fen heard Lin Ling’s cry. He looked up to see Lin Ling’s expression and gave her a little thumbs-up.

Everyone else thought that he was comforting Lin Ling, but only Qin Fen knew that he was complimenting Lin Ling’s expression. As someone who had never shown a true expression, her eyes still did not show the sincerity in her worry. However, this expression was no longer the result of mastery in facial muscle movement — it actually consisted of a very thin line of genuine emotion.

Boom…

The huge cage finally hit the ground. It let out an explosive bang that shook the souls of all who were present.

Wang Hao glanced coldly at the special envoy. From his calm expression, he knew that he had been played by the two men.

Wu Lianda had arrived so early. He was willing to stay for these five days not because he had lost his senses from his anger, but rather to achieve a sense of confusion. He wanted the others to let down their guard towards him.

Indeed! Wang Hao had to admit that the other party had achieved the effect they desired. Once the eight-star fish-scale gorilla was released, Qin Fen’s death was sealed.

It was said that eight-star mutations could be defeated by an eight-star martial artist, but from another perspective, it also meant that even the best seven-star martial artists would not be able to win against this eight-star mutant.

Qin Fen used to only hear about mutant creatures from his various drill instructors. He would also only encounter mutants virtually, during stimulated combats during his classes with the instructors.

The most authentic experience would still be the ones encountered during virtual training in dreamland.

However, he had yet to encounter a mutant with the strength of an eight-star.

Before the cage opened, Qin Fen had already taken an enormous breath. His muscles and veins popped up again. His height had also been rapidly raised by eight centimeters due to his six-star achievement. The reinforced concrete under his feet was unable to withstand his full power and broke into pieces that flew about.

The fish-scale gorilla that was still trapped in the cage showed a disdainful sneer upon seeing Qin Fen’s transformation.

That is the expression that humans had when facing other weak creatures! That is an expression fueled with wisdom!

Although Qin Fen’s bodily transformation was not little, it was still tiny and amusing in the eyes of the large fish-scale gorilla.

When the electrical power on the iron pillars of the cage was turned off, several locks let out clicking sounds. The large cage no longer carried out its original functions in caging this vicious beast.

It let out a long cry, just like the roars of the mythical Western dragons. Its arms that were as thick as palace pillars pushed opened the door of the cage that was blocking its way.

Bang…

The cage door slammed onto the ground and the noise vibrated to the point where even the ground was shaking.

The fish-scale gorilla walked out of the cage with eyes that were filled with rage. All these days of being locked in a cage that was powered by electrical currents that made it impossible for him to move…he had been oppressed for too long.

Now that it had the freedom to move, it did not have any intentions of torturing humans to death. All it wanted to do was to smash, bite, and eat whoever came forth to challenge it.

Then, it would find a way to leave this nasty pit, jump out, and bite all the humans above to death.

Its two hind legs that were even stronger than its forearms stomped fiercely on the ground. The tyrannical forces collided to make a loud sound that resembled a mine explosion.

The people who were standing at the top of this twenty-meter-high pit could all feel the ground tremoring. It was even stronger for Qin Fen, who was in the pit.

There were no fists or body techniques for the mutant creatures. Their battles were more straightforward and simple. They had no tricks or deception. The only way they fought was by simply attacking.

The two stone-like arms smashed the ground. A loud explosive noise filled the air.

Such aggressive violence could only be best described by using monsters.

The faces of the generals’ personal guards, who were outside of the pit, turned pale at the sight of the intimidating strike from those arms. They didn’t suspect that this monster would completely break both of the electric poles that were made out of reinforced concrete.

In the face of this fierce double-armed bombardment, Qin Fen’s horrible human figure was now a bit slender in front of his arms.

He did not evade. He took in a long, deep breath, and pushed both his arms to the air. His power skyrocketed immediately, just like the mystical legend Pan Gu who split open sky and earth with his two arms.

Boom!

The sound of the four-arms crashing exploded within the pit, just like a small grenade.

With Qin Fen in the center, ruins of concrete and countless dust particles flew up to the air. For a moment, nobody could clearly see the situation of the battlefield within the pit.

Everyone outside the pit felt that the ground was shaking one or two times stronger than the previous vibration that was triggered by the fish-scale gorilla.

The soldiers breathed in the cold air upon witnessing this scene. The possibility of surviving such a monster’s attack did not even exist.

Even the eight-star martial artists, in the face of this kind of monster, would rely on the finesse and skills of their martial arts tricks to slowly drain the enemy. The couldn’t get the upper hand with direct confrontation.

The smoke had yet to disperse, but Wu Lianda’s expression became a little more gloomy. Wang Hao eyebrows raised with surprise, but it also had a hint of relief.

Both of them were masters. Despite not being able to see what was happening within, they could still sense the presence of Qin Fen’s aura, and that it had yet to disappear.

For Wu Lianda, if one’s presence of life had not reduced even slightly under such circumstances, it had to be concluded as bad news.

Amongst the smoke, the fish-scale gorilla enlarged its yellow fist-sized pupils. A horrific expression shot rapidly out from its eyes.

This sprout-like human being that stood in front of him was actually able to catch an attack that could easily crush lions and tigers with just their arms. Its razor-sharp claws that had always been able to slit open a human body could not even pierce through the opponent’s skin, let alone slit him open.

Besides that, it even felt a feeling called “pain”!

Due to the collision, the joints at its arms let out a squeaky cry. The pain rapidly spread throughout its body.

It looked down at the human being who was holding his arms. His eyes were actually bursting with a cruel sneer!

Qin Fen’s feet had already sunk into the ground. Just because he was able to withstand the tyrannical impact, it didn’t mean that the ground could too.

Qin Fen had already made up his mind in regards to competing with this beast the moment he saw the fish-scale gorilla!

He had the strength of one elephant in a five-star state! Now, he has the strengths of two elephants in the six-star state! With the addition of the modified stimulation of the Steel Compressing Origin Art during practice, he already had the strength of three elephants.

Qin Fen did not believe that the fish-scale gorilla before him had the strength that could outride three elephants!

A scene where two slender arms grabbed two huge arms should have been slightly amusing. But now, it was tinted with a chilly aura.

The fish-scale gorilla wanted to pull back its arm. Qin Fen let out a sudden cheer and pushed his arms down full force, pressing on his opponent’s arms.

Crack! Crack!

The crisp sound of bones breaking was heard in the ears of everyone and was followed by a mourning scream of pain that also reached the ears of everyone.

Wu Lianda’s face was blue. He could hear that it was the scream of the fish-scale gorilla.

After breaking the opponent’s arm with just one strike, Qin Fen did not stop at all. He pulled his feet out of the ground and rushed towards the bottom of the gorilla in petite little steps.

The high-speed impact was like a tank driving on the streets of the city with numerous stone splattered everywhere unceasingly.

Qin Fen hugged one of the fish-scale gorilla’s leg and lifted it up with a scream. With an interesting backlift from Judo Wrestling, he threw the enormous fish-scale gorilla down to the ground.

The fish-scale gorilla was covered in scales that would definitely weaken the strength of the heavy strikes. Qin Fen simply used the methods of wrestling.

Qin Fen carried the huge fish-scale gorilla like a rag doll carried by a child. He threw it from left to right, creating a mess in the death pool. Mud and stones flew everywhere.

Everyone who was outside the death pool, including Wang Hao was covered in mud. Who knew that martial artist Qin Fen would actually compete with a beast and miraculously win.

In addition, he was even doing something that would be considered as insane at that time, which was throwing this fish-scale gorilla left and right. Those protective fish scales could no longer withstand such torture. Plenty of fish scales even flew out of the twenty-meter high death pool walls.

In the face of Qin Fen, Wang Hao was confident that he could kill this young man, but he really could not insanely smash a fish-scale gorilla-like he did. Even if his star-class was one level higher, he would still not be able to create such an amazing visual impact.

The smile on Wu Lianda’s face was long gone. He grabbed the crutch in his hand and trembled rapidly at that moment.

It cost no small amount to get the fish-scale gorilla and a special envoy. Even the vicious Wang Hao was fooled by his tricks. He did not expect that everything would be ruined in the hands of the young Qin Fen.
