Chapter 469: Wipeout! Annihilation!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Seoul, Korea was a modern city. The State of Korea’s military headquarters was established on the outskirts of the city. Unlike Shenyang’s military headquarters, the appearance of the State of Korea’s military headquarters was more like a large mansion villa. What was within the walls was a huge garden and lawn. The sparse forest occasionally cast a few shadows. The pathways for people to walk on were spotless with no sign of a battle aura of an army.

This was the State of Korea’s military headquarters. Korea’s Martial God, Bae Seong-Joon, donated this mansion to the State of Korea’s military. It became the office of the State of Korea’s military headquarters.

Although Korea’s Martial God Bae Seong-Joon had died, this mansion was still the pride of the State of Korea’s military. Bae Seong-Joon was not an ordinary person in the State of Korea. His Neo Taekwondo controlled the economy and politics of the whole state. It could be said that almost all famous forces and companies of the State of Korea had more or less direct association with Bae Seong-Joon’s Neo Taekwondo.

When Neo Taekwondo became the pride of the people of the State of Korea, all major companies gave their shares for free to the martial master who brought pride to their people. Many great entrepreneurs even became Bae Seong-Joon’s disciples.

Due to the existence of Bae Seong-Joon, these disciples under him who were originally economic opponents gradually became strategic partners. People who were once unacquainted also got to know each other through him and developed their companies on a larger scale.

It was hard to say when Korea’s Martial God, Bae Seong-Joon, became the center of life for the people of the State of Korea. If there was anything that had no relationship with him, then this matter or industry must be an industry without a future.

Even though this person had already died, his remaining prowess and energy still existed. He still had a high reputation in the State of Korea.

In the central hall of the garden bungalow, men and women wearing military uniforms sat on both sides of a super long table. More than a dozen soldiers with somber expressions quietly stood around the room. The reserved aura and the shadows in the room seemed to blend together.

Lee Myeong-Jeong, the leader of the State of Korea military, sat at the end of the table and glanced at the crowd with a calm look. His middle finger and index finger tapped the table rhythmically and continuously.

It had been more than a month since Qin Fen last entered Qilin Mountain. It seemed that he had disappeared into thin air. His state of life and death remained unknown for a long time.

The military forces could expand everywhere but it couldn’t expand into the core of the Qilin Sect. Lee Myeong-Jeong still did not have the guts to let the State of Korea military forces infiltrate the Qilin Sect thoroughly. If this was exchanged for the wrath of the divine beast martial artist, then the consequence will be very tragic.

Qilin didn’t have to kill people personally. He just needed to send someone to the President of the Federation and the parliament to say that someone had offended his power. That would be unbearable enough for any military.

Now, Qin Fen had come out of Qilin Mountain alive! Although this did not mean that Qilin agreed to Qin Fen’s marriage, at least it showed that the old divine beast had no plans to kill Qin Fen for now.

Qin Fen was not killed! Lee Myeong-Jeong was somewhat disappointed. He thought that once Qin Fen went to Qilin Mountain, he would never return. Unexpectedly, the young man’s luck was so good to the point where he could even walk out of Qilin Mountain alive.

The frequency of Lee Myeong-Jeong’s finger tapping on the desktop was getting faster and faster following the change in his mood. A decision flashed into his mind. Since Qilin didn’t kill him, then I will try to boost him to the point where even Zuo Lin couldn’t ignore his existence. The power of the Zuo family…

“Myeong-Jeong, what do you want by gathering everyone here?” Next to the table, the State of Korea Military Region’s younger general Zhang Zaihe, who carried a military-inspired demeanor, sat upright with a serious look. Like other generals, he glared at Myeong-Jeong furiously.

People on the top level of the State of Korea military all knew that if it wasn’t for Lee Myeong-Jeong constantly inciting conflict from behind the scenes, Korea’s Martial God Bae Seong-Joon would not have fought with Qin Fen. Then naturally, the pride of the State of Korea would not come to an end.

After Lee Myeong-Jeong’s nephew died, Lee Myeong-Jeong had contacted his nephew’s senior brothers many times in order to seek revenge for him. Due to this, Bae Seong-Joon’s two dearest disciples who trained at Sacred Martial Hall were killed by Qin Fen on the spot and this turned into a blood feud with Neo Taekwondo’s backbone.

“I know that everyone doesn’t like me.” Lee Myeong-Jeong’s hands spread out indifferently with a calm expression, “But today, I want to talk to all of you about Qin Fen…”

He had not ended his sentence yet but the temperature of the entire conference hall instantly fell to the freezing point. Lee Myeong-Jeong could feel the murderous aura of the fellow generals and the bodyguards.

That’s right! Lee Myeong-Jeong’s lips lifted upwards to form a confident smile. Although he was not liked by these people, he was still much better than the name of Qin Fen.

The death of Bae Seong-Joon caused the entire State of Korea to fall into silent grief. Countless people joined the army of martial arts. The goal was to kill Qin Fen in order to cleanse the shame of the nation.

As the State of Korea’s military, they also hated Qin Fen intensely.

With regard to the emotions towards Lee Myeong-Jeong, that is an internal problem; with regard to Qin Fen, there is no coexistence. It was a blood feud! Even if we fight till the last drop of blood, we must kill Qin Fen!

“All of you also know the attitude of the Federation’s headquarters towards Saturn?” Lee Myeong-Jeong watched the crowd slowly nodded and continued, “Since the military headquarters also intended to change people, then I personally hope that everyone can join me in supporting Qin Fen to be the person-in-charge of Saturn’s military headquarters…”

“What?”

“What did you say?”

Loud interrogations full of cold tones immediately filled the conference room. The noisy clamor and the pounding of the table sounded endlessly. Fiery-looking eyes as sharp as knives scowled at Lee Myeong-Jeong. The middle-aged bodyguards nearby surrounded him silently as though it carried the meaning that they would uphold justice and righteousness even at the sacrifice of blood relations at the first sight of disagreement.

Lee Myeong-Jeong felt as though their scowls were piercing through his skin. He smiled faintly and raised his head slowly to stare back at everyone, “May I ask, who can kill the current Qin Fen?”

The noisy meeting room became much quieter instantly but the eyes were filled with even more rage. Even if you couldn’t kill Qin Fen, you shouldn’t make his life better. Nor should you support him to be the host of Saturn.

This is not because of his young age or his insufficient strength. It’s because Qin Fen beat Bae Seong-Joon to death. So he has a blood feud with the people of the entire State of Korea!

“Then would your objection mean that Qin Fen has no chance to board Saturn?” Lee Myeong-Jeong looked around the crowd and spread his hands gently, “That’s it, you can’t guarantee for sure that Qin Fen can’t board Saturn.”

“We can still support Zuo Lin! East Asia’s military headquarters not only has Snake King Du Hen but also the Zuo family! Sleeping Lion Zuo Dongting!”

“Yes, we can support Zuo Dongting’s grandson Zuo Lin!”

“Yes! Zuo Lin!”

Lee Myeong-Jeong looked at the disgruntled crowd and shrugged his shoulders. The fingers tapped on the table slowly and rhythmically. He asked, “Your support for Zuolin will at most stop Qin Fen from going to Saturn. Then, will Qin Fen die because of your barrier?”

…

The room was silent for a while. Those who could climb to this level were not brainless people. Even under the influence of angry emotions, they still maintained a clear mind.

Supporting Zuo Lin can only stop Qin Fen from going to Saturn this time but can’t kill him. However, if you support Qin Fen, the Zuo family who also want to seize Saturn…

That’s right! Zhongzhou people had a very bad habit, which was the love for infighting. Even within a company with only three people, Zhongzhou people could also have endless infightings.

Zhongzhou people’s love for infighting was already a tradition long ago. If it weren’t for the consumption of infighting, Zhongzhou had already completely dominated the entire East Asia Military Region with its vast territory and resources. Then, they could completely disregard the attitudes of generals from other states.

“Let the Zhongzhou people fight, how good is that?” Lee Myeong-Jeong spread his hands slowly and looked at the crowd, “The Zuo family has been restraining themselves silently for so many years. They can be untempted by other interests but that is Saturn, a whole planet.”

The crowd that calmed down sat back slowly and nodded continuously. Nowadays, not a single person in the entire State of Korea could fight and kill Qin Fen alone. Only the plan of attacking using the others’ strength could work.

After a brief silence surrounded the room, Zhang Zaihe exclaimed heartlessly, “Lee Myeong-Jeong, this time we will trust you again! Hopefully, we can kill Qin Fen this time, otherwise…”

“There is no otherwise.”

The main doors of the conference room opened to both sides. Qin Fen’s hands were behind him and he steadily blocked the exit door of the room. He raised his chin slightly and looked at everyone present. The gentle yet powerful voice echoed continuously in the room.

Several generals subconsciously touched the firearms on their waist and at the same time shouted, “Guards! Where are the guards?”

Qin Fen put his arms slowly in front of him. He shook his fingers gently from left to right, “No need to shout. They’re all asleep.”

At this moment, several generals recalled that Qin Fen was not just a martial dao master. He also showed a strong individual combat capability in the recruit competition. When it came to hiding, assault, sniping, or any other military skills, he performed everything almost perfectly. It could be said that he was truly an all-rounded soldier.

Several generals slowly moved their hands away from their firearms. Besides the fact that martial dao masters were invulnerable to ordinary firearms, even if he was at the level he was at when he participated in the recruiting competition, no one in the room could use the gun to hit him.

Lee Myeong-Jeong sat firmly at the end of the long table. His fingers tapped the table gently and looked at Qin Fen with a very calm expression, “This is the State of Korea’s military headquarters. You need to figure out what you are doing. Here is the topmost level of the entire state of Korea military!”

Zhang Zaihe’s nervous heart relaxed again. That’s right! This is the State of Korea’s military headquarters! It might not be a problem if Qin Fen wanted to kill a general but if he terminates the whole military headquarters, it would cause a great shock.

Qin Fen scanned the crowd slowly. His gaze finally locked on Lee Myeong-Jeong, “I only wanted to kill you initially. However, I realized that there is always a fourteen-star martial artist around you.”

Lee Myeong-Jeong’s expressions showed more signs of a smile. The top-level military officers all witnessed Qin Fen’s sniping level. Even if Qin Fen could hide his murderous aura, there was no need for the opponent to have that special feeling of being locked as a target. As long as he was not using extremely special sniper equipment, a fourteen-star class martial artist would be able to sense danger approaching when the bullets were fired.

There was no need to wonder if Qin Fen was attacking in the dark. As long as there was a fourteen-star martial artist by his side, then the things that happened after the bullet was shot would not be within the sniper’s control.

“So, I could only personally pay a visit to kill you.” Qin Fen looked around at everyone, “As a result, I found out that everyone wants to kill me. Then, for the safety of me and the people around me, I have to kill all of you.”

All? Lee Myeong-Jeong smiling expression appeared a bit stiff. Those who gathered here are all the senior generals of the entire State of Korea’s military headquarters. If someone wiped out all of them, it will definitely cause a huge sensation! Even Snake King wouldn’t dare to do such a thing. Otherwise, he would have done it way earlier.

Is this a joke? Zhang Zaihe denied his guess quickly and stared at Qin Fen’s eyes confidently. He realized it was a very sincere expression. This meant that he was not joking at all. This young man really wanted to kill everyone here.

“If you don’t die, then I will die. There is no choice in this situation.” Qin Fen sighed and walked halfway into the hall, “So… you can try to escape. If you escape successfully, you have a chance to live. Or else…”
