Chapter 545: Ultimately Powerful

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Qin Fen?”

Nezha raised his eyebrows and his jade-like face showed slight curiosity. He was curious to meet this young martial artist who killed the Elysium’s Xianglong Arhat, Han Zhongli, and Tie Guaili within such a short period of time. He was curious about how powerful Qin Fen was.

Several of the martial artists and researchers who wore the Elysium’s badges immediately turned and looked cautiously at the direction of the voice.

Due to a deliberate information block by the Elysium’s executives, except for the executive level martial artists, everyone had the impression that Qin Fen was a Killer God. And that he had a preference in killing Elysium’s members. They had just received the news that two masters from the Eight Immortals were killed by Qin Fen; this had further proved that the past rumors were not wrong. At the same time, it also proved how powerful Qin Fen was.

Elysium’s Eight Immortals had always been the real attacking force during the battles. Some people even suspected that as the Eight Immortals fought a lot more in real battles, their strength may even surpass Nezha, Monkey, and others.

This man killed two masters from Elysium just by himself. Elysium’s members had no choice but to watch Qin Fen carefully. They also looked at Nezha with high expectations.

The Founding Society’s martial dao master who was in the glass room was only a fifteen-star. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was like a god. However, he posed no threat in Qin Fen’s eyes. Their only hope now was Nezha, who was said to be way more powerful than the Eight Immortals.

From the end of the corridor, Lu Dongbin walked out slowly with He Xiangu with flushed cheeks. His guilty look when he first entered the base, after hearing what Nezha had said, had now turned into an angry and sad look.

Elysium, where they had worked in for many years, planned to sacrifice all the Eight Immortals and to convert them into insect warriors just because the situation had changed now. This was not just sad, it was devastating.

“What?”

Elysium’s martial artists were stunned as they saw Qin Fen. Although they couldn’t describe this young man as handsome with his glimmering eyes, he gave a vague sense of heroic spirit. It could hardly be said that he had a murderous look of some bloodthirsty demons. He also had a sense of indescribable steadiness and trustworthiness. If he were to go to Hollywood to act, a lonely hero role would suit him very much.

Nezha switched his gaze from Qin Fen to Lu Dongbin. He gave a faint smile of surprise, “Congratulations, it seems that you will be having a breakthrough soon.”

Lu Dongbin stared at Nezha with a grave and resentful expression. I could have such improvement this time, it’s all thanks to Elysium! If he was not sent to find new energy and new metal, he wouldn’t have been nearly killed by Qin Fen with his firm and fierce martial art.

And he would have never had the chance to see a higher level development of the firm and fierce martial dao.

All those experiences were more than enough to catalyze improvement in his martial dao, not to mention the life-or-death pill! The life-or-death pill that’s worth more than millions of dollars! One could only either be dead or alive after taking it! Those who were alive, their potential that had yet been developed or it was difficult to be developed would be stimulated instantly.

Lu Dongbin and the others flew all the way here in the aircraft. Although it wasn’t a long trip, his potential had been stimulated gradually. Although he had not entered the rapid growth stage induced by the life-or-death pill, he already had a breakthrough in his stage that he couldn’t manage to get past before. He was heading towards nineteen-star rapidly, towards acquiring the Ground Aura Shield.

The Eight Immortals had made great contributions to Elysium all these years, but they were abandoned like this in the end! Lu Dongbin wanted so badly to kill Nezha on the spot! But he couldn’t do it. Even if he could recover immediately back to his best condition, he still couldn’t win Nezha. He would only shame himself by doing that! This handsome-looking martial artist had the real power of the Ground Aura Shield! Nezha once fought and defeated all eight of the Immortals alone in a practice before. And at that time he had only made eight moves…

That was the true power of this Elysium’s martial artist who was above the Eight Immortals! Compared to Qin Fen’s invincible strength in his moves in the natural cemetery, Nezha’s attacks at that time were also at ease.

He Xiangu subconsciously grabbed Lu Dongbin’s hands tightly. She looked up at him with her eyes filled with affectionate but also a hint of blame. She blamed Lu Dongbin for his choice to personally bring Qin Fen to this place. They could have just given them the coordinates, but now they were here and even bumped into Nezha. Perhaps none of them could leave today.

Qin Fen looked past Nezha and looked straight at Dr. Ronna, who was standing behind Nezha, “Are you the supervisor here?”

Ronna looked back at Qin Fen with his eyes filled with excitement. He couldn’t help rubbing his hands, “Such good material, it’s really good material! Mr. Nezha, if you can catch this man alive for me, then I can promise to supply Elysium with another powerful killing machine. I believe that I can obtain a lot more information from studying him, so I can guarantee a hundred percent self-consciousness in the warriors we provide to Elysium in the future”

“Is that true? Well, I will catch him for you then. Ever since Yang Jian’s Howling Celestial Dog was killed by the Emperor of Inferno, he hasn’t got a new one. If we make him into a Howling Celestial Dog and give it to Yang Jian, he will surely be very happy.”

Nezha turned back and promised Ronna with a smile. He slowly turned his head back to look at Qin Fen again. Their eyes met for the first time and both of them shook a little. Nezha’s eyes were filled with surprise.

A confrontation between two martial experts would be more than just a look at each other. Sometimes it could be said as attacking with sights. The mysterious way of putting it would be a battle between the spirits of martial artists. The simple way of putting it would be to focus every strength into one’s eyes in an instant, in order to increase one’s own martial dao power to attack an opponent.

Nezha’s fierce sight attack could probably kill a usual fourteen-star and destroy all his organs in an instant. Even a real fifteen-star martial dao master with an iron will could lose his will after being glanced at, and he wouldn’t be able to fight anymore.

It was the second time Nezha faced someone with the same eyes as Qin Fen. His eyes were quiet and peaceful, and were not at all fierce or murderous. It could be said that he didn’t even use a sight attack. His glance felt just like he was watching people passing by on the street.

Under normal circumstances, Nezha would hardly be surprised if a martial artist who took his sight attack with such an unprepared glance end up with heavily bloodshot eyes. A real master would be able to instinctively counter with his own sight attack, and they would fight each other’s martial dao power’s spirit.

However, Qin Fen remained quiet and calm throughout his stay here, even after the sight attack. He didn’t try with any counterattack, it was as if he hadn’t been sight-attacked by Nezha. His eyes were like a mirror, and it reflected all the power of the sight attack back to Nezha in that instant. Nezha took the full blow of his own sight attack.

It felt really uncomfortable taking one’s own attack. Nezha lowered his eyebrows and frowned. He looked at Qin Fen curiously and doubtfully. How old is he? That man seemed younger than twenty-five too! Why do they have the same eyes? No! This Qin Fen is even younger than that man!

Nezha suddenly remembered that Qin Fen was less than twenty-one years old according to the information provided by Elysium. He was even younger than the man who he met on Jupiter whose martial dao was full of pride.

In this world, isn’t that man the world’s top genius martial artist? Nezha shook his head. Qin Fen must have mastered some special sight attack! According to Elysium’s information, Qin Fen once met Qilin on the Qilin Mountain and stayed there for a long time before leaving.

“That’s right!” Nezha seemed to have realized something, “This Qin Fen, he must have learned a special sight attack from Qilin! I have already seen the most talented martial artist, who was the young man on Jupiter that day. He was an amazingly talented martial artist! In this world, it is absolutely impossible for another young martial artist to face my sight attack this easily without using any counter sight attack.”

“As a martial artist, one must be confident. A martial artist who loses confidence will not achieve anything.” Qin Fen walked forward slowly, “But don’t become arrogant. These two feelings are only slightly different, but they’ll lead to two completely opposite results.”

“Who’s arrogant? You’ve killed so many of our men. I originally wanted to go to the military headquarters to find and kill you, I didn’t expect you to come here by yourself.”

Nezha raised his head and rotated his wrist and held out a round metal ring. Except for that one spot where he was holding it, the whole ring was covered with sharp blades. Rather than a round-shaped metal ring, it looked more like a ring of metal knives!

Qin Fen walked slowly, not paying attention to the weapon in Nezha’s hand. His eyes were glued on Ronna so he wouldn’t escape from any of the trap doors or get killed by others, “Too many have died today, I don’t want to kill anymore. I am not here to kill people this time. I just want to kill the people who are related to Buddha in the Elysium, so that he’ll feel my pain of losing my masters.”

“Killing?” Nezha frowned. There’s a hidden meaning to his words. He’s saying that he doesn’t want to kill me? That I am not as good as him?

Several members of the Founding Society, in the face of Qin Fen’s march without releasing any aura shield, had become even more alert. They took a few steps backward instinctively, in hopes of avoiding the distressing feeling from Qin Fen, who was not even releasing his martial strength.

Du Zhanpeng slowly walked out from the corner with Du Peng in his arms. He watched Qin Fen’s strolling steps and sighed softly. Qin Fen was indeed a man who dared to call himself the top martial artist of the younger generation. He had now reached a height where he didn’t need to show any martial strength and was able to prove himself. It was unexpected that Du Peng’s death meant so much to him that even his martial dao could have improved because of it. He had become much stronger than he was in the natural cemetery.

Although this couldn’t really up his star-level immediately, it benefitted Qin Fen in some unexpected ways.

Of course! Du Zhanpeng frowned slightly. What had happened to Du Peng had temporarily made Qin Fen’s determination to rescue his friends even stronger… so his death had such an effect on Qin Fen this time. But if they couldn’t save Du Peng, this might completely crush Qin Fen, who was the rising martial dao superstar of their generation.

Little Demon watched Qin Fen move forward, and she jumped out subconsciously to stop him, only to find that there was no one in front of her. She then heard Qin Fen’s footsteps sound from behind her.

“I don’t want to kill more people today. I just want to get the information I need.” Qin Fen walked quietly, he raised his eyes a little and looked at Nezha emotionlessly, “If anyone continues to try and stop me, I will kill them.”

He is threatening us! The most straightforward way of threatening! Nezha looked at Qin Fen with an extremely cold and murderous look. In the past few years, even Buddha and Jade Emperor had the courtesy to respect him; this young man who just appeared today was so arrogant! No matter how fascinating the steps he just took were, where he released and held back his aura in just a blink of an eye, he wouldn’t tolerate Qin Fen today. Or else his martial dao would never have any improvement in the future because of this.

“Qin Fen!” Nezha looked up to the sky and laughed, “Since my debut, I have been unrivaled wherever I go, and I’ve killed countless people! Thousands of them wanted to kill me, and those arrogant people all had to repent in hell for even daring to challenge me! You are too bold at such a young age. I don’t know if your arrogance is caused by your strength and fame, or if you have lost your mind. But since you dared to threaten me like this, you’ll have to pay the price with your life!”

After his last words, Nezha didn’t move his legs but just rotated his ankles, and then split his legs! He lowered his head, chest and belly in. Without any big movement, he seemed to have two wheels under his feet and he charged towards Qin Fen like a leopard.

Nezha’s speed went beyond the expectation of Lu Dongbin, who was quite familiar with him. The crackling sound of the air being split by his movement could be heard echoing in the corridor. The entire corridor was filled instantly by the shock wave of his movement. Everyone in the corridor was forced back by his overwhelming Ground Aura Shield before they could even feel the vibration of the floor. Some weakest staff members simply fainted.

The martial dao master who was behind the tempered glass had his pupils shrink smaller than a pinpoint! But he still couldn’t follow Nezha’s movement; he could only rely on sounds of friction in the air to tell Nezha’s positions. He had to release his fifteen-star true energy to the max, so to resist the pressure that felt like Mount Tianwang was collapsing. The power was so great that his heart started beating frantically.

So these are eighteen-star martial artists? In that brief flash when he had this thought, Nezha suddenly jerked his Qiankun Ring and it flew directly towards He Xiangu with a flash of golden meteor tail. He flicked his left hand, and a three-section ring-chained long spear assembled instantly and struck towards Qin Fen’s chest.

With his thousands of killing experience, Nezha attacked He Xiangu with the Qiankun Ring to distract Qin Fen, but he also lunged his Fire Spear with the simplest and most direct move!

The Great Way could be extremely complex, but it could also be extremely simple! Nezha’s ring attack aimed to complicate the battle, but his spear attack was extremely straightforward.

At the same time, Nezha’s belt suddenly shot a ray of piercing red light!

Aurora Mirror! A new technology! It was similar to a flash grenade in the past, but it was more powerful. Not only can it instantly impair the opponent’s vision, blinding them for a short period of time, it also wouldn’t spread the flash to affect the user or other comrades.

This was the Red Armillary Sash modified by some technicians for Nezha. A glaring white light could do some damage to the eyes, but it lacked a penetrating power when compared to a red light! The blinding power of the dazzling red light was way above that of the white light.

Nezha would never underestimate any of his opponents. Qin Fen was the fastest in the world to gain his fame. After killing Han Zhongli and Tie Guaili, he wasn’t injured at all when he came to this place. This was enough to prove how strong he was.

What’s more, he had been to the Qilin Mountain! Nezha wasn’t afraid of Qin Fen, but he had to be wary of Qilin who was behind Qin Fen. Qilin was the real top martial dao grandmaster of the world. If he taught Qin Fen the martial arts technique he created, then it wouldn’t be an easy battle today for Nezha.

Qin Fen closed his eyes. It was the first time that he had met someone who used high-tech together with martial arts techniques. He raised his left palm against the tip of Nezha’s spear. His legs stopped, he lowered his waist and spread his legs for a small horse stance.

He’s using his body against my weapon? Nezha shook his shoulders, did a horse stance, belly out and his feet gripped firmly onto the ground. He used every inch of his strength on this lunge. He moved as if he wasn’t holding a spear, but a roaring fire dragon!

Qiang! A sharp metal collision sound instantly shattered all the floor tiles in the corridor and the tempered glass with a strong protective function. Blood splashed out from Nezha’s palms, and he could feel the blood boiling in his chest. The spear was completely crushed!

How’s this possible? Nezha had never asked this question on battlefields, it was such a stupid question! Anything could happen on ever-changing battlefields. But this time he couldn’t help himself. His spear could penetrate through almost anything; even with Qin Fen’s Ground Aura true energy, it should have been impossible for him to block this spear attack bare-handedly.

The red light dimmed down. Nezha could finally see the thing Qin Fen was holding, it was a piece of metal! A very strange piece of metal. This metal was filled with Qin Fen’s Ground Aura, and it outplayed Nezha’s spear which was also filled with his Ground Aura when both of them collided.

New metal! Nezha recognized the metal held by Qin Fen. This thing wasn’t reflective at all in the red light. Because of that, it was invisible under the red light, and his spear was crushed by it.

Qin Fen destroyed the Fire Spear, then switched from the horse stance to a forward charge of Dragon cannon. He charged towards Nezha like a lightning bolt, swung forward his arm with the Investiture of the Gods style, which carried million years of loneliness from the mighty Sahara!

A punch of rampage!

Nezha immediately let go of the spear’s broken pieces in his hands, and he released all of his aura shield power. It felt like he had broken through his bottleneck in the face of Qin Fen’s enormous power, and he could feel energy he had never felt before; he clenched his fists into a Double Dragon Out of the Sea style to block Qin Fen’s Investiture of the Gods style.

He attacked to defend! At this moment, Nezha finally showed the real power as a strong Elysium martial artist on Saturn. The rumbling of eighteen-star Ground Aura Shields could be heard. Qin Fen’s Investiture of the Gods style had an overwhelmingly wide attacking range, this had made a counterattack difficult to be performed. Most people could only go for passive defensive moves.

However, Nezha, Elysium’s old master, attacked to defend. He correctly predicted the attacking line of Qin Fen’s Investiture of the Gods style, and he successfully countered the move that no one could actually take before.

A deafening collision sound could be heard from their meeting fists. The entire Mount Tianwang was shaking violently. The sound of a broken bone was heard from the air. The biting wind blew in from the end of the corridor, blowing off the dust around them.

Ronna fainted in shock. Nezha stared at Qin Fen in a lunge stance, then he slowly looked down at his chest to find a big hole in it. His eyes were filled with astonishment for a second time. Both of them were eighteen-stars but he had lost to Qin Fen! He was so defeated that even his heart was destroyed, there were no more chances for him to turn everything around.

Peng peng peng peng…

Nezha’s body parts below his shoulders exploded, blood splashing everywhere. He slowly fell forward. He recalled the feeling when he took the punch, it felt like the entire Sahara was pouring endlessly from the sky!

The martial dao master who stood behind the broken glass was shocked by this scene. This… this was a totally one-sided match! Qin Fen’s punch gave off a sense of invincibility and that it was undefendable! There was a sense of determination that could be felt through his fist. If someone attempted blocked it, it would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Nezha had done his very best in using the time, his martial arts technique, and the environment. But he still had no chance in winning Qin Fen.

While Nezha was falling down, before his body had yet to touch the ground, he flipped his biochemical beast regenerated arm to draw out a short spear from his pants! The tip of the short spear pierced through the air with a sharp sound, it stabbed toward Qin Fen’s chest!

A short spear made out of Mars Scarlet Marked Metal! Its attack from a close range was fatal and fierce!

Nezha’s heart was like that of Bae Seong-Joon of the Hallasan that day, where he forcibly shifted the position of his heart at the critical moment. The sixteen-star Bae Seong-Joon could do it, the eighteen-star Nezha with his Ground Aura could surely do it too! He performed it even more successful than Bae Seong-Joon, even the explosions of Qin Fen’s latent energy in his body couldn’t destroy his heart.

Nezha fell over and pretended to be dead, so he would have a little time to recover and prepare for a sneak attack. He gathered all his remaining strength to stab and aim for Qin Fen’s heart with the short spear.

Qin Fen threw away the new metal in his left hand, and he used the Entanglement style to go around the short spear with his hand instantly.

Si si si si…

The short spear rubbed against Qin Fen’s grip with some white smoke; it stopped after forcing in another half an inch.

This ‘Entanglement’ style wrapped around the spear, and Nezha could feel the intense heat from his right palm. All his strength was being absorbed by this weird entangling martial style.

I have to get it back! I am really dead if I couldn’t get it back! Nezha roared, he stomped his feet and lowered his waist and stance; he used all of his power to push the short spear forward!

“Unfortunately, you don’t have Superman’s power.”

Qin Fen’s voice was calm and slow, it sounded like a missionary talk from the Great God which traveled through time and space to reach them. His five fingers held tightly onto the spear, and he flicked his forearm up; Nezha was held up in the air.

Nezha was shocked. He quickly let go of his spear and flew backward in the direction of Qin Fen’s flicking force. Qin Fen had punched out an exit at the end of the corridor. As long as he could escape from Mount Tianwang, although he was heavily injured, he would just have to go back to the Elysium first.

Lu Dongbin held onto the Qiankun Ring which was thrown towards He Xiangu. His heart skipped a beat as he saw Nezha escaping. If Nezha escaped today, with the help of today’s battling experience with Qin Fen where he nearly died, it might really help him to break through his bottleneck. It would be even harder to defeat him in the future.

A glaring white light blinded Lu Dongbin; the light penetrated into Nezha’s forehead and out through the back of his head with a line of crimson red.

Nezha planned everything perfectly, he had even known that Qin Fen might use his short spear as a hidden weapon. But he didn’t know it would be this quick, so quick that his weak body could no longer dodge it.

Nezha felt the blood flowing down his forehead. He heard Qin Fen’s voice, and he could tell that Qin Fen didn’t move. Qin Fen spoke slowly, “You can shift your heart. How about your brain?”

Peng! Nezha fell heavily on the ground — he was already dead. His eyes were still staring at Qin Fen, as if he was regretting that he didn’t catch Qin Fen and turn him into Howling Celestial Dog for Yang Jian.
