Chapter 531: Optimus

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The moment the lightning began, it stopped.

The batch of martial artists from Elysium had not even reacted to the fact that the battle had begun when they found that the battle was over. The five masters joined forces to attack. That unparalleled aura of power that could destroy the heavens was dispersed in an instant? The martial artists of the Elysium looked at one another and then at the dead Han Zhongli and Tie Guaili on the ground; the injured He Xianggu, and the injured insect martial artist Lan Caihe. Everyone suddenly realized that no one managed to see how the battle went just now.

Lan Caihe half-knelt on the floor and stared at Qin Fen, who roared like a beast. His broken right arm bones crackled and squirmed as it returned to normal quickly. His five fingers that were stained with Han Zhongli’s blood gently moved under his control, emitting traces of blue light.

Poison! Lan Caihe’s fingers were extremely poisonous! Unfortunately, his extreme poison could not break through the arms of Qin Fen.

He Xiangu was still sitting on the ground, her boiling qi and blood were gradually suppressed. Her pair of quick-witted eyebrows were vigilant and cautious. This palm was too strong, it was just a palm mid-air! If it really hit my body, I think I’d be killed in an instant!

As she recalled that palm just now, He Xiangu was very skeptical. If I had rushed in front of Qin Fen just now, would it be as simple as him slapping a fly? Would he had easily me killed?

Lu Dongbin did not suffer from any injuries, but his face was duller than anyone else’s. His reddish face was covered by a layer of grayish-white and his forehead had a bit of cold sweat. His eyes did not move and glared at Qin Fen.

As a member of the battle and the only true long-range attacker, he must analyze the overall situation and see the situation of the battlefield clearly.

Lu Dongbin saw everything that had happened clearly. And because he saw everything, he had received a mental shock that was greater than anyone else.

Eighteen-star class insect warrior Lan Caihe, according to the information of the Elysium was recorded as follows: beast’s instincts; does not fear death and injury; combat concentration of a hundred and twenty percent; the real peak of the eighteen-star class. Even in the face of a super-powerful nineteen-star class, he still did not fear death; he fought like usual to suppress the opponent and delay most of the time.

Lu Dongbin wanted to return to Elysium immediately to find the person who provided such information, and use Magnetic Flying Sword to slash the person into minced meat!

What true peak of the eighteen-star class? What could threaten a martial artist of the nineteen star-class? Lu Dongbin’s lips twitched, and his heart snarled repeatedly. Did the informant have any common-sense? The hype that he rose, the unparalleled power of the eighteen-star class in the world, had no such power in the hands of this young man named Qin Fen.

Lu Dongbin’s eyes glanced at the place where Tie Guaili died. Han Zhong also died in the battle! They had experienced hundreds of battles to obtain such great strength and were able to become Elysium’s powerful core martial artists in battle, yet they were killed off in an instant.

How is this possible? This is impossible, right? Lu Dongbin did not have the strength to produce such a shock. The facts were laid in front of him. Qin Fen had single-handedly fought against the five masters yet he did not even move his feet and had defeated the five masters. It was as if he was just doing a very normal, very common thing; there was no excitement on his face after he had won the battle.

That sigh… Lu Dongbin looked at Qin Fen’s eyes and he felt a chill down his spine. That sigh was high and mighty, as if he was looking down at the commoners.

Is this the strength of this generation’s young and powerful peaks? Lu Dongbin felt like he was suddenly older by another ten years or so. Is this world really going to change? A few years before the rise of Qin Fen, there was once a young man who also turned the tables easily, but that time was different from this time.

At that time, he was as strong as Jade Emperor and Buddha. In front of the young man whose name was unknown, Lu Donbing was beaten until he could not fight back and forced to step down from being Jupiter’s beast. Qin Fen was at least not as strong as that other person.

Is history going to repeat itself? Lu Dongbin shook his head hard. Absolutely not! History cannot be repeated again! This young talent called Qin Fen must be killed! Otherwise, in the near future, he will likely become the real enemy of Elysium! The enemy that was greater than the Inferno!

We can’t let another person become a second Qinglong! Lu Dongbin’s teeth were gritted, and his eyes stared at Qin Fen. His hands were subconsciously clenched into fists once more and his eyes were sharp as a blade as he looked to the corner of the woods and said coldly, “Since our friend Inferno is here, come on out. Is it true that people in the Inferno are used to living in the dark and had become cowards, is that why you are called the Inferno?”

Qin Fen didn’t need to look back. When he saw Lu Dongbin retract his Magnetic Drive Flying Sword from the battle, the people of the Inferno were still outside the distance of five hundred meters.

Shasha… shasha…

The rotten leaves were trampled by the soles of the feet, giving out a unique sound of the forest, a little messy but not confusing to others.

In the dark woods, nearly one hundred martial artists in black warrior suits appeared, most of them with xm1014 automatic shotguns in their hands. This kind of weapon was especially useful in dealing with mutant animals in the forest. Just because their enemy, the Elysium’s martial artists could use it, doesn’t mean that the Inferno couldn’t use it.

Rustle… huala…

When Elysium’s martial artists saw a large batch of inferno’s martial artists appearing, the collision of the gazes of both parties suddenly sparked with fervor. The nearly hundred pieces of xm1014 automatic shotgun which was originally pointed at Qin Fen all pointed to the martial artists of the Inferno.

When the members of the Inferno saw Elysium, as if both parties were already well-rehearsed, the nearly one hundred xm1014 automatic shotguns in their hands aligned with Elysium’s martial artists instantly.

Two hundred xm1014 automatic shotguns confronted each other and everyone stared at each other nervously. As long as one side opened fire, it would cause a series of fire splatters instantly.

Lu Dongbin did not look in the direction of the nearly one hundred xm1014 automatic shotguns. These weapons could only be used against mutant creatures. If they wanted to deal with martial artists above the martial dao master level, there was only one circumstance that could be done. It would be when the martial dao master was weakened after a fight. When their bodies sustained heavy injuries and were no longer able to maintain the strength of a martial dao master, these weapons would then be able to deal fatal damage to the martial dao master.

Lu Dongbin’s eyes stared at the three people who walked in front of the Inferno. His voice was slow yet powerful and filled with hostility, “You’re God of Night, if I remember correctly. The other two should be Yamas, right? How should I address them?”

The biggest difference between the Inferno and Elysium was that one was not timid even if they like to hide in the dark. However, the martial artists of Inferno also held a similar concept as Elysium: those who were strong must be mysterious, only then they could be identified as a strong person.

Even though Elysium and Inferno were enemies, it was difficult to identify the strongest people of Inferno. It was precisely because of this that the Emperor of Inferno, the most mysterious prince, was able to kill eight immortals when he debuted. The Elysium could not even identify who he was. They could only analyze him through various channels and finally deduced that the Emperor of Inferno was the strongest of the younger generation rumored by Mars, known as the legend of Mars, Shang Guan Chuan Qi.

“King Biancheng.”

“King Taishan.”

“The sixth and seventh of the Ten Kings?” Lu Dongbin carefully looked at the hoarse and low-pitched King Biancheng. His body was unusually tall and he was not much different from the insect warrior, Lan Caihe. Having a height of more than two meters and twenty centimeters, he was not slender, and the muscles of his whole body were very firm. When he moved, he gave off a feeling of a small mountain. Although he stood on the spot, people could still feel his authority.

Golden short hair and a little rough white skin, as well as the chest hair showing under his neck, gave people a feeling of a Siberian bear.

Lu Dongbin carefully observed King Biancheng’s fist. The surface of his fist bone was flat, like a cast-iron plate. It was the trace left by his fist training since young.

King Taishan was much better looking than King Biancheng. He had the appearance of an oriental, his figure of one meter and eighty-five centimeters, was not fat or thin but his whole body exuded a strong sense of strength. His strength was far greater than the sixth Inferno King, an eighteen-star class!

The seventh has a higher star class than the sixth? Lu Dongbin was baffled. According to the information presented in Elysium’s data, the ranking of the Inferno was supposed to be from the strongest to the weakest. Why was the seventh prince stronger than the sixth?

King Biancheng snorted coldly, it was not the first time he saw this baffled look. In the past, he once saved King Taishan. As a result, King Taishan, who was now above him in strength, did not have the option to surpass his position. There weren’t many who knew about this.

King Taishan was confused as he looked at the heap of rotten flesh. For a moment, he could not identify whom the body belonged to. His gaze moved around and soon noticed the body of Han Zhongli. He stared at it in shock.

“Han Zhongli of the Eight Immortals died? Who did this…?” The doubts of King Taishan had not yet been dismissed when he made another exclamation, “This is… Sinner Chen Ni? Zuo Dongting’s best general! It was rumored that when he shut himself in, he was already at the peak of the seventeen-star class and that it was very likely that he would become an eighteen-star class martial artist, how…”

Because the Inferno had relations with the Saturn’s lieutenant general, they had more detailed information than Elysium’s military headquarters. Chen Ni was a person who was placed high on the bounty list. Even this information was also obtained completely by the Inferno.

“Unless…?” Taisan King looked at Han Zhongli and looked at Chen Rui again. His eyes turned gently and made a speculation. The powerful energy burst just now, was it because of this? Before Chen Ni died, he was killed trying to kill Han Zhongli?

COMMENT

Lu Dongbin looked at King Taishan whose expression was changing like yin and yang, sighed softly, “Six Yamas, I know what you are thinking. Unfortunately, I have to tell you that your thoughts are wrong. Chen Ni, Han Zhongli, or Tie Guaili, their deaths were not caused by a fierce battle amongst themselves.”

Tie Guaili also died in battle? The two great Yamas of the Inferno and the God of Night were surprised. They stared at the heap of rotten meat with shock. Was that supposed to be Tie Guaili? They did not die to each other… then who was one that killed them like this?

Lu Dongbin slowly raised his finger and pointed toward Qin Fen, “Let me introduce you to Qin Fen.”
