Chapter 189: Samsara

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Soft as Qin Fen’s voice was, it still bore an incomparably penetrating power. Standing there quietly, making a gesture, Qin Fen appeared so indifferent, yet he was showcasing an aura that could not be underestimated.

In contrast to the earlier Qin Fen who was brimming with an overbearing and fierce aura, today’s Qin Fen seemed more like clouds, floating high above the sky, overlooking at all living entities underneath.

The bearing of a Grandmaster!

Suddenly, the eight young masters felt like their eyes were playing tricks on them, giving them the illusion that Qin Fen wasn’t their peer, but a Grandmaster who had long since achieved fame and had founded a clan of his own in the Federation!

Song Zhenting too was taken aback for a moment. He immediately raised his fingers and pinched the bridge of his nose.

Just now, he abruptly saw the shadow of his father, the Earth Martial God, Song Wendong’s shadow on Qin Fen!

Although it was only for a short moment, Song Zhenting had a feeling that his eyes weren’t playing any tricks. Having reached his realm, Song Zhenting had an unparalleled will; how could he be fooled by an illusion?

The same was true for Butler Hou. At that very same moment, a sharp gleam flashed past his eyes as well. He too saw the same shadow as Song Zhenting.

In contrast to Song Zhenting and Butler Hou, the eight young martial artists were convinced that what they just saw was nothing more than an illusion. For they believed that the only reason they saw an illusion was because Qin Fen had just taken out two young men with the force of a thunderbolt, giving a huge blow to everyone’s confidence.

In the eyes of the young experts, a Grandmaster was an invincible character.

Qin Fen, in just in the blink of an eye, burst forth with such ferocity and tyranny that he simply appeared invincible, and that he could sweep everything in his path. At least, among the young experts, no one had the confidence that they could defeat this young martial artist who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere in a one-on-ten situation.

At the thought of this, all the young martial artists felt extremely ridiculous.

Ordinarily, which of them wasn’t a giant among men? Words like ‘all of you, come at me at once’ should emerge from their mouths…

Yet today, these words were spoken by someone else. God knows whether it was retribution or they were truly down on their luck to run into a brat like him.

Eight people joining hands to fight against one man, and if they took the initiative to attack…

The eight young martial artists felt that they could not afford to lose to that man.

If the matter of their partnership came to be known to the public, it would already be incomparably shameful. And if even after joining hands, they seized the opportunity to lay a preemptive strike…

The eight young martial artists wondered whether they would have any face left to show.

Just when the young martial artists were hesitating whether to take the lead or not, the pseudo meridians in Qin Fen’s body had already spread across his entire body. Owing to which, his stimulated heart was pumping blood just like a pump, and the effect of the high-speed circulation of blood had reached in every muscle and fiber of his body in no time. Meanwhile, under his raging true energy, Qin Fen fiercely raised his head high as the bones in his body made cracking noises as they were taut to the very limit.

Just this movement of raising his head had stretched his spine even more so. To which, blue bulging veins suddenly emerged on his skin, mapping dense criss-cross networks under his skin. Following that, his muscles also started to squirm as they expanded continuously, again and again!

In just a blink of an eye, Qin Fen’s height had suddenly increased by five centimeters. Meanwhile, his eyes opened wide as a shimmering glitter emerged in his pupils, giving the impression that two two hundred watt bulbs had been installed in place of his eyes. In no time, Qin Fen’s entire figure resembled that of a peerless, giant, ancient ape, standing proudly under the sun!

This time, not only the eyelids of the eight young men were crazily twitching — their entire scalp was tingling as well. How could they have ever thought that Qin Fen would suddenly become so terrifying, like some devil had taken over his body? With just one glance, they knew how terrifying the strength running through Qin Fen’s body was.

At this moment, the young martial artists had no more scruples.

Such a shocking transformation would certainly burst forth with terrifying strength.

It might be shameful for them to make a preemptive strike after joining hands — they might lose their face. However, if they were knocked down even after joining hands, wouldn’t it be even more disgraceful!?

As things were proceeding, everyone didn’t need to look at each other to make a decision. All of them made a leap together, casting various movement techniques as they charged at Qin Fen from various angles.

In an instant, a storm erupted inside the courtyard as an intense bloodlust filled the air. At the sight of this, the spectating Lin Liqiang, who had been incomparably confident about Qin Fen, also became extremely worried.

Qian Xueling lunged his two fingers towards Qin Fen’s jaw as the Sun Piercing Rainbows from the Rainbow Piercing Finger Arts burst out from his fingers.

Caesar, on the other hand, raised his leg and made a sweep towards the back of Qin Fen’s knees, giving rise to a raging wind storm. Meanwhile, a metallic gloss emerged on his body. At a glance, it was quite apparent that he had cast the neo martial art – Steel War Body, with the Paleo Kicking Technique – Fiendish Chop.

The air at the back of Qin Fen suddenly turned cold. The chill from the freezing winds had yet to reach Qin Fen’s body, but the temperature in the surrounding had already dropped to almost freezing point.

Qin Fen didn’t need to even turn his head to know that it was the neo martial art – Nitrogen Freezing Magic, which was a powerful neo martial art that was known for being able to even freeze the lava from a volcanic eruption if one could cast it to the peak!

At the same time, a metallic gleam suddenly presented itself at Qin Fen’s left side. It was a three-foot-long steel saber. Its user had a bloody aura jumping out of his eyes. Apparently, it was the battle technique from the Butcher Dao of Slaughter.

This attacker had truly killed before! And not just one!

Of all the attacks, this saber strike appeared the weakest, yet its lethality was the highest of all.

Abandoning all their dignity, seven young experts had taken the initiative to attack together. More importantly, their strength was better than the two martial artists who had suffered instant defeat in Qin Fen’s hands earlier.

Despite all this, Qin Fen remained motionless, like an immovable guardian deity.

The trajectory of the saber was simply beautiful, it was like a swallow swiftly cutting through the air. Even the killing intent was gathered at the tip.

This was no longer a competition but rather a life and death match!

Even Song Zhenting on the second floor had knit his brow; a serious look was apparent on his face. This young man’s performance today seemed to be a bit like the Samsara from the Five Imprisoning Saber Moves.

The saber was extremely fast, like a lightning bolt in a dreary dark night. The saber tip was aiming straight at Qin Fen’s jugular. But what he didn’t expect was for Qin Fen’s body to become so hard that the tip could not even penetrate even a single bit.

Using the biochemical beast, Qin Fen’s skin had become extremely sensitive. Whether it was the Samsara from the Five Imprisoning Saber Moves, or the power of killing intent focused at the tip, when all was said and done, he wasn’t a true grandmaster casting secret arts. Just from the faint wind shearing sound made by the tip of the saber let Qin Fen know as to where this saber would strike as well as the number of varying changes in it.

Qin Fen might not have encountered the Five Imprisoning Saber Mover, but he could instantly analyze the most threatening aspect of this strike like a supercomputer nonetheless.

Qin Fen had no idea whether the result of a sharp rise in his marital senses was because of fusing with the liquid metal ball or because of the stimulation of his brain by Lin Liqiang’s biochemical beast, making it more active, or because the biochemical beast had super calculation function of its own. All he knew that there weren’t any secrets in this strike in his eyes!

The instant the aura of this strike reached its peak, Qin Fen made his move.

Just the momentum of this move overwhelmed the power of the seven people together in the blink of an eye. The step of the Dragon Guard! The whole ground began to shake, like this step was not trodded by a human but an Elephant! The power brought forth by an Elephant stamping on the ground in rampage made everyone’s feet fumble at the same time.

It was like two high-speed cars suddenly colliding together, which made everyone with inertia lose their balance.

At this instance, the rock slab underneath Qin Fen’s feet was devoid of any cracks, whereas the rock slab a foot away from Qin Fen’s feet had collapsed into fist-sized rocks that flew everywhere.

The moment the saber qi of the young martial attacking with the saber reached its peak, the moment he believed he was going to succeed, the ground underneath his feet unexpectedly started shaking on its own, like an earthquake, causing a flaw to appear in his attack.

Whereas Qin Fen, dodging the saber with the help of Dragon Guard, reached out and grabbed the hand holding the saber before slamming his shoulder into the opposite party.

Due to the Dragon Guard, Qin Fen’s body was like a tank! Even if it was a wall, Qin Fen could smash through it. How could the young martial artist bear a collision with a tank?! His bones broke into pieces as he flew out.

And right then, others finally recovered from the quake. With Qin Fen completely surrounded, they hastily launch a salvo of moves at Qin Fen.

In their opinion, let alone a human with inflated muscles, even an iron man himself would be smashed to pieces under these kinds of kicks and punches.

As the kicks and punches whizzed through the air, Qin Fen felt a tremendous pressure which he had never felt before. His battle intent soared through the sky, giving him an urge to let out a roar in pleasure. At this moment, the Group Warfare Tactics – Guardian Deity Dance, which came from the Battlenet Stealer, was completely unleashed.

For a moment, kicks and punches clashed in the air, like heavy hammers colliding with each other. Shock waves aftershock waves shook the air and the land.

Song Jia, who was watching from the second floor, stood in a trance. Under the attack of six men, Qin Fen was like a guardian deity of a temple. And now, when he cast the Guardian Deity Dance, he looked like a guardian deity that had descended to the human world!

The short exchange between the seven was like a hurricane that ravaged for a very short amount of time. Under the dozen of kicks and punches, everyone immediately separated from each other as they flew out.

With the remaining six young experts using their respective biochemical beasts, Qin Fen was unable to block all of their moves. In the blink of an eye, he was struck with four punches and two kicks on his back, chest, and thighs at the very least.

Each of these kicks and punches had the strength of five hundred to six hundred pounds behind them, at the very minimum. Qin Fen could feel a searing pain coming from the places he was struck. Apart from the suffering he had suffered in the hands of the drill instructor, Qin Fen had never felt such a sharp pain when fighting with the others.

Qin Fen might have been experiencing burning pain coming from multiple wounds, but the six attackers were in an even worse state than he was.

Those kicks and punches of Qin Fen had the strength of an Elephant! Plus with the boost from the biochemical beast, his strength was pushed to that of two Elephants! Suffering a punch from Qin Fen was like getting smashed by two kicks of an Elephant simultaneously. A slam from him was like getting slammed by a rampaging Elephant.

That kind of power was far stronger than crashing into a car.

The six young martial artists were smashed back by Qin Fen’s kicks and punches. Qin Fen’s punches were heavier and faster. Being punched by one of them felt like they were being hit twice instead.

Just from this short exchange, the six young martial artists were picked up Butler Hou from the ground. They no longer had any strength to fight. Not only were their ribs broken, their arms, legs, and hands were in a miserable condition.

Having clashed with Qin Fen’s arms consecutively, their bones were broken or dislocated. Even though it was easy for them to land their punches on Qin Fen’s body, the rebound from their punches felt like they were hitting metal instead of a human body!

A huge piece of iron!

His training in protective divine art had reached an unimaginable altitude!

Due to the previous clash, Caesar was lying on the ground, holding his legs. Using the Steel War Body, he had mercilessly swept at Qin Fen’s thigh with his right leg. Such a move could easily crush stalagmites.

But, this one kick had no effect on the opposite party, whatsoever. On the contrary, he had his own leg broken.

As Qin Fen reached out, caressing his thigh, his face grimaced in pain. From that leg sweep, Qin Fen felt like he was about to have his flesh torn to shreds, as if Caesar was using a whip of iron thorns to flog his leg. Qin Fen felt a searing pain he had never felt before.

Looking at Qin Fen, the confused look on Song Zhenting’s face had already replaced with fury. This young man had used protective divine art three times. What more, was that it had unleashed such a defense on the third try that even the neo martial art – Steel War Body was broken by it.

Be that as it may, Song Zhenting was still not able to tell which protective divine art Qin Fen had actually used until now. This made him a bit furious.

On the other hand, the tension on Song Jia’s face had completely disappeared. There was a happy look on her face as she looked at Qin Fen below. She was even lightly waving her hands.

“Don’t worry, there is still one left.” Song Zhenting pointed his finger at Ge Bing who had yet to make his move. “If Qin Fen loses, you will marry him.”

“Qin Fen will not lose.”

“Is that so?” Song Zhenting broke into a smile. “You think Qin Fen had not exhausted his physical strength? The seven peers he had been fighting had used biochemical beasts, he is not a god.”

“He has not…”

“Whether he has or not, you can see it from the sweat on his forehead.” A smile appeared on Song Zhenting’s lips, like an expert that was giving a review. “He should be using his biochemical beast in the battle for the first time. He appears to be quite unfamiliar with its coordination. The strength he can bring about is quite strong, but it cannot last for too long. Ge Bing should have also realized this point, that’s the only reason he had not made his move!”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Ge Bing lightly gave an applause. That gentry attitude was like that of the audience watching an opera.

“Good, very good.” Ge Bing looked at Qin Fen with appreciation. “Qin Fen, is it? I have begun to admire you. I take back my statement ‘you are unworthy to fight with me’. You have all the qualifications. I have also begun to understand why Young Master Lin looks at you differently, why he put down his pride and became friends with you. If a helper like you is nurtured in martial dao, you can provide good assistance in becoming the patriarch in the future.”

Qin Fen just lightly smiled as he shook his head and waved his finger. “No, you are wrong about two things. First, you should not provoke my relation with Qiangster, it’s useless. Second, if you truly believed that, then, you are very wrong. Qiangster is a friend of mine, a very good friend. The only thing that you are right about is, if Qiangster truly wanted to seize the patriarch position, I will definitely help him. If he refuses my assistance, I will beat him with Old Enz until he agrees to let us help him.”

Stretching his waist lazily, Lin Liqiang broke into laughter as he said, “Fortunately, I don’t have any stupid thoughts like becoming patriarch. Being a patriarch is so tiresome, what’s the fun in that?”

Ge Bing shrugged his shoulders. “Do you know why I hadn’t made my move just now?”

“I know,” Qin Fen confidently said, “You want to win against me in one-on-one, especially after I have beaten the nine of them. If you can win against me, it would mean that you are stronger than those nine. You want to grow your reputation in your circle a lot, isn’t that so?”

“That’s right!” Ge Bing’s eyebrow twitched. “You are very clever. Then, let’s do it!”

Qin Fen nodded and took a fighting stance before he slowly spoke, “But you aren’t that clever. You think you can defeat me after I have exhausted most of my strength by fighting one against nine, right? Even if you alone are stronger than those nine people, you still can’t defeat me.”

“I will win.” Ge Bing’s eyes bloomed with never before seen confidence. “Because…”
