Chapter 333: Hearing Qin Fen’s Reputation Made Others Escape Faster Than A Rabbit

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight entered the small confinement unit from a small window.

A series of hurried, brisk footsteps could be heard through depths of the corridor from the confinement unit.

“Hey? What’s going on?”

Zhao Huzi looked at the iron gate that was as smooth as a mirror the last time he saw it and wondered how it became so uneven overnight. There were marks of punches and kicks everywhere, some being almost half a foot thick.

The monitoring personnel that had followed closely behind Zhao Huzi smiled bitterly amongst themselves. They had no idea how to explain it. They simply took the room card and placed it on the electronic lock.

Beep beep…

In the past, with the buzzing sound of the electronic lock would open automatically with a thudding sound.

Today, after the buzzing sound, the electronic lock still did not move.

“Hey?”

“This is?”

“It’s broken?”

“It couldn’t be?”

Everyone’s curiosity rose. The monitoring personnel once again used the magnetic card to unlock the door, but even after the buzzing sound, the door did not show any sign of opening.

The monitoring staff looked at each other and at Zhao Huzi, who was standing beside them, at the same time. One of the personnel said helplessly, “Maybe it was broken by Colonel Qing Fen last night.”

“Qin Fen?” Zhao Huzi’s bronze bell-sized eyes became more rounded and bulged. The growth of this kid is way too fast. No one else could’ve made this door into this shape — Qin fen’s the only one in the room!

Zhao Huzi shook his head powerlessly with a bitter smile. Qin Fen from the Recruit Tournament couldn’t be ferocious up to this extent. This was an adhesive type metal half a foot thick.

“Qin Fen.” Zhao Huzi raised his hand and patted the iron gate, “Kid you broke this door, do you have any ways to come out?”

Qin Fen retracted his practice pose and got up. He looked around at the confinement unit with a bit of embarrassment on this face. To turn this place into such a mess, I suppose this is considered vandalizing public property? 

“Make way…” Zhao Huzi waved his hand back as he retreated with the men, “Make space for this kid to break the door.”

Qin Fen stood in front of the uneven door. He squatted slowly and pulled his waist down adding pressure to the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, One time…two times…three times…!

The total amount of true energy of Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was getting bigger and bigger. The control power required to pressurize the true energy was getting higher and higher. Qin Fen was helpless as he realized that the speed that his current control power was growing could barely catch up with the growing speed of the accumulated true energy. If he wanted to add more pressure, he would need expensive surgery and have a supercharged super chip implanted into his body.

However, that was not the only point that was needed to be changed.

Dragon Elephant Prajna Art itself was firm and overbearingly fierce. The stimulated four times supercharged release was the limit that Qin Fen could bear with his current meridian strength. If he wanted to continue to add more pressure, he could only do so with the activation of the biochemical beast in the body for meridian reinforcement.

No wonder the Origin Suppressing Vajra Art was so expensive! Qin Fen exclaimed in his heart. This was definitely a neo martial art that could only be acquired by burning money. An ordinary person could not afford to practice this thing.

Loosen the hip, sink the waist.

Dragon Elephant Prajna Art true energy was poured into his legs. Qin Fen’s heartbeat sounded like drums in a battle, the blood in his body boiled, and it made the people outside the confinement unit think that someone had forgotten to turn off the faucet.

His eyes suddenly opened, and two lights were shot onto the iron door. It was like someone had used a flashlight to illuminate the iron door. This was a special effect that could only occur when the essence was really concentrated in both eyes.

As everyone outside the room heard a sudden increase in the sound of the water flowing, Qin Fen stepped forward with his right foot, his waist turning the upper body. His spine resonated with the flowing sounds, his muscles formed an inverted triangle and the iron gate was struck.

Twisting Single Mountain Thrust from the Arhat Fist!

With a loud noise, the iron gate broke at the connecting points, as if the inside of the confinement unit was blown by tons of TNT. The tyrannical shock wave blasted the door away from its original position. It slammed into the wall on the opposite side, causing rocks to fall.

There was a mist of smoke and dust in the passageway. Qin Fen moved his burning back and walked into the passageway from the confinement unit.

The staff stared at Qin Fen. This was a confinement unit for nine-star and ten-star martial artists. The design made sure that even ten-star martial artists were unable to destroy the door in one night and break out.

Zhao Huzi walked forward, not looking at Qin Fen. His two eyes stared straight at the iron gate that was blasted into the wall.

On the sturdy door, a huge inverted triangle mark was clearly visible, displaying the weight of the blow.

Qin Fen looked at the marks on the door from the corner of his eyes and was very impressed. This level of destructive power could only be exhibited in a situation where there were no opponents around and when he was given sufficient time to prepare.

In the battle that involved life and death, there would be no opponent that would allow such a long time to accumulate such energy in order to activate such a big move.

“Not bad, not bad.” Zhao Huzi nodded again and again, “I haven’t seen you make a move these few days, and you have progressed so much. Follow me. You can’t stay in military forces for the time being.”

Qin Fen smiled. Is it possible that I would be transferred to managing logistics? That’s not bad actually, I can have more time to practice.

Walking in the compound of the East Asia Military Region, the soldiers along the road looked at Qin Fen walking behind Zhao Huzi.

This was the colonel that hit others until they are disabled on the streets?

This was the colonel that’s challenged back-to-back by the younger generation of Shenyang these days?

This meager colonel was the reason the generals of the East Asia Military Region conducted several meetings?

This is the youngest colonel ever in the East Asia Military Region?

Different questions concentrated on the same person. It made Qin Fen feel like the most popular soldier in the East Asia Military Region.

When he walked into Zhao Huzi’s office, Qin Fen discovered that the general’s office was not very large. A desk, an office chair, a sofa…

A very simple room, filled with a full of simple yet direct soldier aura.

“Kid, this is the place you are going.” Zhao Huzi threw a document file to Qin Fen and said, “I called you over just to inform you. No matter where you are, you will always be part of the military. This is a temporary outing, you still need to add glory to the military. If there are any difficulties that you are unable to solve, just call me anytime.”

Qin Fen smiled as he opened the document file and was shocked to see the document on the top.

To the police force? Qin Fen kept the documents properly as his mouth made a clicking sound and said, “This is rather unexpected.”

Zhao Huzi laughed happily, “Kiddo, you finally have your unexpected moments! You have given others so many shocking and unexpected moments these days, it should be your turn to be surprised. Go! Go and report for duty!”

“General.” Qin Fen did not get up and looked into Zhao Huzi’s eyes, “This incident, was it related to Liang Tao’s mother?”

Zhao Huzi’s eyebrows jumped and Qin Fen was stunned. “It seems that it was more than that?”

“En.” Zhao Huzi shrugged his shoulders, “It doesn’t matter if I tell you, in fact, this could be a reminder to you. Yesterday, the Pegasus Fitness Club suffered a strange terrorist attack: a Neo Taekwondo martial art teacher was bombed. ”

Qin Fen just nodded. In this environment, everyone knew the truth, but it was only mentioned by General Zhao in such a situation. Things were obviously not that simple.

“Unfortunately.” Zhao Huzi said, his words contradicting his face, which looked very happy, “Coach Li, who was killed in this terrorist attack, happened to be the nephew of the Korean Elite General Li Mingzheng. He was practically his son. Li Yong Jun’s parents died when he was a little kid, and Li Mingzheng raised him himself, and the capability under the pupilage of Bae Seong-Joon’s Neo Taekwondo…”

Zhao Huzi took a sip of green tea and said, “With the death of his son, naturally, he had to find the terrorist to take revenge.”

Qin Fen felt a bit of ridiculousness. After killing the venomous snake there was actually a huge python hiding in safety, and it surprised everyone.

After a short silence, Qin Fen sighed heavily, frowning. Things were much more troublesome than he expected.

Generals, especially an elite general, usually had very good martial strength. If they didn’t, then they would usually have bodyguards with tyrannical martial strength around them twenty-four seven. Killing him would not be an easy task.

Even for sniping! It would be necessary to get powerful sniping equipment from special channels beforehand. The weapons management in the military had always been very strict.

“Of course this time, more efforts were made by Liang Tao’s mother Cao Rong, and Old Lady Diao who controls the Cao Family.” Zhao Huzi raised his hand and touched the thick beard on his chin, “The influence they have in Zhongzhou’s Shenyang was obviously a lot bigger than General Li from Korea, so naturally, the things were done by them.”

Of course! Qin Fen’s fingers clasped together. The consideration he had in the confinement unit had now been decided completely.

Zhao Huzi smiled. No wonder the Snake King chose Qin Fen as an observation subject. This kid gave others a feeling that he was a person that would usually not find trouble, but if he was in danger and required self-defense, he wouldn’t put much into consideration. It would be a decisive and straightforward action.

“Do you want to kill someone?”

“En!” Qin Fen nodded, “They have power and strength, and I have nothing. Even if I don’t provoke them, they will never let me go. This dead knot… there is no way to untie it. The only solution…”

Zhao Huzi made a crisp follow up, “Has to be the death of one side.”

“Yes!” Qin Fen sighed, “I don’t like to kill, but if I don’t do it, I will die. The problem is, I don’t want to die, and I shouldn’t die. From the very beginning, they robbed me from the tournament spot, so I used normal means to get back what was rightfully mine. When I came to Shenyang, they wanted to kill me. If it wasn’t for my strength that was beyond Liang Tao’s estimation, I would have been dead by now.”

Zhao Huzi nodded silently. The young overlords of Shenyang were not fools. So many people surrounded one person and spread visual obstacles such as tear gas around to prevent clear footage of the surveillance. In the end, they were killed by Qin Fen, yet they were unable to find out who it was.

From the surface, there was no direct relationship with the mastermind of the colonel’s death. So even if a trial was run, it might not be a big deal.

Although this was cruel, it was a fact.

“And also last time the blood ranking ninth incident was also done by Liang Tao’s family.” The fierce light of Qin Fen’s eyes became more intense, “He took my spot and I regained the spot that was rightfully mine. And he actually sent an assassin to take my life. This time, I killed him for the sake of preventing him from breeding a tumorous next generation, but for a moment I forgot to consider his mother who was behind him. If I don’t make a move, next time there may be a blood ranking eighth, or maybe even the assassins from the murder ranking or the death ranking that you mentioned.”

Zhao Huzi could only nod. Cao Rong was a madwoman. With her son now dead, anything could be done by her. With the wealth of their family, if they must execute their revenge, then even the murder ranking and the death ranking could be possibly employed.

If a murder ranking assassin were to be deployed… Zhao Huzi massaged his temple. Even an Elite General had been taken out by these murder ranking assassins before!

“Tolerance…” Qin Fen spread his hands, “Can’t exchange peace.”

Zhao Huzi threw a document file on the table in silence. Qin Fen received it and opened it. His face showed some surprise again.

It contained a large map, a few small anatomical maps, and some written information, records of the martial strength of Cao Rong and Old Lady Diao.

On the big map, there was a villa with a circle on it with the word “Cao” was written on it.

The anatomical map contained the defense environment of the villa area, the installation location of monitoring probes, and the number of the security staff.

“This is not information from the Military Region.” Zhao Huzi waved his hand, “It’s not mine either, I don’t know anything.”

Qin Fen got up and bowed to his senior instead of proceeding with the military salute.

When he turned towards the office door and was about to leave, he heard Zhao Huzi, who was behind him, say, “How do these terrorists think nowadays? Back then when they conducted any terrorist activities, they would leave some trace on the scene as a mark so that people would notice what they did. In the past few days, Shenyang’s terrorist has left nothing. Did they change their style?”

Qin Fen turned his back against Zhao Huzi. His lips lifted gently as he pushed open the door and left the room.

As he left the Military Region compound, Qin Fen’s eyebrows on his forehead had never relaxed.

Cao Rong stayed in a residential villa. Although the defense was considered strict, it was not difficult to infiltrate. What was really difficult was Li Mingzheng.

Assassinating an Elite General… Qin Fen once thought of this matter and his spine tingled.

There would be tyrannical martial artists protecting this kind of person. It was obvious that there would be no chance to kill them with fists and kicks. Only sniping! Long-Distance sniping should be executed!

Weapons were a serious problem! His eyebrows furrowed. The buildings in the Military Region compound was built in accordance with defending against terrorist attacks. Not only could the walls not be penetrated using cannonballs, even the glass… 

It was rumored that the hardness of the glass was even terrifying than an iron plate! Forget about sniper rifles, even with a smaller cannon, it could only be cracked.

This Military Region compound, which was said to be made out of diamonds, was no exaggeration.

Qin Fen looked up at the surrounding glass. He was not sure if the black market website introduced by Zhang Xiangyang would allow him to buy the necessary parts to assemble a powerful sniping device, and even then, would it would be broken down with one shot?

All he needed was one shot! Qin Fen believed that even if Li Mingzheng was a strong person himself, as long as he as not crazily strong like Snake King, he could definitely kill him!

The sudden ringing of the telephone interrupted Qin Fen’s thoughts.

“Hello, General Zhao, anything?” Qin Fen was surprised. Did he miss something in the conversation that happened in the room just now? Couldn’t people eavesdrop this call easier?

“Nothing much, just got to know some small matter.” Zhao Huzi’s mood was a bit low, “General Li just left Zhongzhou this morning by flight.”

“So fast?” Qin Fen was surprised. Does he no longer want to avenge his son?

“He heard that someone came out of the confinement unit, so he left in advance.” Zhao Huzi sighed and said, “Someone’s sniper profile… he’s seen it, after all.”

Qin Fen felt a bit bitter. This Li Mingzheng was very detailed. When he returned to the Korean region, his whereabouts would not be something a Zhongzhou soldier could have access to easily; the assassination would be harder.

The call had become a busy tone. Qin Fen could only accept this reality helplessly for the time being. A person who could climb to a high position must have encountered countless assassinations attempts. Surely, he would not be that easy to kill.

Black market…

Qin Fen sighed and shook his head. Since he was going to pretend to be a terrorist, he could not just rely on assembling just one sniping equipment and fire long-range sniping attacks twice to complete the mission.

Terrorist… Qin Fen sighed again. Fortunately, he had seen a lot of terrorist’s modus operandi, or even pretending to be one would be a troublesome thing.

“Are you Qin Fen…?”

While he was gathering intel at the outside of the East Asia Military Region compound, Qin Fen snorted. Another challenger had appeared! What a headache. I don’t know if Cao Rong will use this time to pull off more tricks.

“What, go to the police force?” Cao Rong walked around the room with the phone on her hand, “General Li, since you knew that he was going to the police force, why didn’t you stop him? Why do you want to go back to the Korean region? Did you forget to take revenge for your son?”

“I haven’t forgotten…” Li Mingzheng said coldly to the other person on the phone, “It was just that, since he came out, it has become very dangerous for the time being. Guessing from his usual movements, he will be retaliating immediately. You should be careful too, this person has a good sniping ability.”

“Are you afraid that he will snipe you?” Cao Rong laughed, “You are a general! Your identity is there, he dares to touch you?”

“It’s really hard to say.” Li Mingzheng closed his eyes and took a deep breath, “I have heard that he may go to Tianbei City, which is very close to our Korean region. If I have the opportunity to make a move, I will do it. You should be careful, Madam Cao Rong. If Qin Fen found out that you were doing things behind the scenes…”

“What can he do? I am a Colonel, I have the whole Cao family behind me!” Cao Rong’s screams that tore her throat pierced the eardrum of the person on the other side of the phone, “General Li, you are too timid! But it is good too! He is heading to Tianbei, which is really good…”

Li Mingzheng also smiled, it was really good indeed. Qin Fen was heading to Tianbei City. The Korean region could not interfere with Zhongzhou. But Tianbei City, which is very close to the State of Korea, could be infiltrated.

“Hey? Yu Guiqin? I am Cao Rong…” Cao Rong said with a sharp smile, “Is your son’s broken arm recovered? It’s recovered? But his martial arts can never improve anymore? What a pity! Have you heard? Qin Fen, the one who broke your son’s arm, seems to be going to the police force in Tianbei City. What a coincidence..”
