The Favored Son of Heaven - Chapter 314: GPS and Tear Gas
Chapter 314: GPS and Tear Gas
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Shengjing was one of the very few super metropolises in East Asia.
Bustling, busy, and fast-paced lives formed the blood of this city.
The Generals of East Asia Military Region didn’t have much time to experience the bustling city.
The generals had their hands full these days, considering the problem of whether Qin Fen was staying or leaving. With the prolongation of the discussion, various proposals were put on the table one after another.
Some people suggested that Qin Fen should be thrown into a military school for a few years and wait until Song Wendong had cooled down, or let Qin Fen be defeated by someone during this time. Earth Martial God would naturally not care about this and everything would transition smoothly.
There were some people who suggested that Qin Fen should be assigned to special forces. Whether he was going to be a dragon or a snake, let him temper himself.
Some even suggested that it was better to assign Qin Fen to some unit in a remote mountainous area to raise pigs, grow vegetables, and be the head of the logistics department there, to complete his entire military career as a lieutenant colonel.
Even at dawn, the meeting was still going on. Suddenly, the generals discovered that assigning Qin Fen, an insignificant lieutenant colonel, was much more troublesome than assigning a major general.
As the meeting continued, all kinds of proposals continued to be put forward.
Qin Fen, having eaten breakfast prepared by the hotel, stood at the roof of this three-star hotel and lightly moved the joints of his body. His two eyes were constantly scanning the streets.
“Fortunately, no one is here today.” Qin Fen jumped from the hotel’s roof to the roof of the building next to the hotel. His legs didn’t show any signs of stopping as he ran quickly between the roofs of the buildings.
Two days ago, he thought that the number of challenges would lessen after he had knocked out one of Shengjing’s four kings of the younger generation.
As a result, Qin Fen discovered that he had underestimated Song Wendong’s position in the hearts of young martial artists. There were still many young people in Shengjing who continued to raise the flag of challenge in order to become the grandson-in-law of Song Wendong. Although their numbers had indeed decreased, a new problem had popped up on another side.
Earth didn’t have just one city. The young martial artists of the nearby Tianjing had also received the same information. Some had rushed over directly through the Jingtang Expressway, while some simply took the maglev train.
The influence of Shengjing’s four kings of younger generations could not even completely affect Shengjing, let alone outside the city, where the influence was even weaker and more pitiful.
Just yesterday evening, Qin Fen had even accepted the challenges of two blonde and blue-eyed martial artists, who had flown over from Europe.
And in the middle of the night, another young African martial artist, who was almost as dark as the night itself, rushed straight from the airport and challenged Qin Fen. He didn’t even care that it was already late.
It was also because of the advent of this African martial artist that the next few young martial artists had chosen not to provoke Qin Fen at night.
When it came to those who wanted to take advantage of the fact that their opponent was tired and wasn’t completely awake, Qin Fen didn’t show the slightest bit of mercy. When Qin Fen beat him, one could hardly find an intact bone in his body apart from his head.
Under the darkness of the night, the furious Qin Fen was like the butcher in the middle of the night. His fury had completely deterred those who wanted to pick up a bargain.
Deterrence!? Qin Fen pursed his lips into a faint wry smile as he jumped down from the roof to a deserted alley with a flip. Unless he killed someone, any kind of deterrence could only be maintained for a short period. It would be destroyed by the unparalleled influence of the Earth Martial God.
Pfff…
Qin Fen breathed out loudly. He calmed down along with the quiet valley.
Although he could see all kinds of boxing techniques with the endless challenges, if he didn’t have the time to practice his martial arts, then there was not much point in seeing all kinds of boxing techniques.
Beep… beep…
Qin Fen opened the GPS that he had purchased online and clicked on the nearest gym.
Even though there was a big gym in the three-star hotel, it only had a few types of equipment. It simply didn’t have advanced equipment like the gravity chamber. As for auxiliary equipment like the heavy lead suit, it was even more impossible to find it in a three-star hotel.
The heavy lead suit: Qin Fen had not seen this kind of equipment in the army. However, after he had read an online introduction, he began to have a strong interest in this special piece of auxiliary equipment.
The voice help system of GPS slowly gave directions, “Please turn left in five hundred and thirty-six meters…”
As Qin Fen followed the direction he could not help but marvel at his surroundings.
“I got that strange liquid metal ball in an environment just like this…”
In Qin Fen’s mind flashed back to the special scene that changed his life as inexplicable sighs broke out.
“In the end, who were those forces that were trying to snatch that liquid metal ball?”
“Why haven’t I encountered anyone trying to track that liquid metal ball?”
“What would happen if someone knew that I have that liquid metal ball?”
Qin Fen raised his head as he looked up at the brand-new surveillance probe installed in the alley. This device was installed in almost every nook and corner of the Federation cities. Did it not record that strange scene that day? Even the police had not done any kind of investigation.
Amid the hustling and bustling of the city, a quiet alley like this made people feel more peaceful.
“Please turn left in three hundred and forty-one meters…”
The voice assistant of the GPS gave direction once more. Suddenly, Qin Fen’s eyebrows twitched fiercely as a series of motorcycles’ roars came from both ends of the alley.
More than fifty sports bikes of all kinds poured into the alley from both ends. Each and every one of these riders was wearing black helmets. Some of them were empty-handed, some were carrying knives, and some even had several Mag Drive Flying Swords flying about behind them. Suddenly, Qin Fen’s pupils constricted sharply as he noticed that some people were carrying firearms amid the group!
Ambush! Blocked from both sides!
Suddenly, the sound of a single-seater mag drive flying car came from the sky as a familiar face showing a hateful gaze entered Qin Fen’s vision.
Liang Tao, looking at Qin Fen from above, pursed his lips into a ruthless sneer. Are the challengers that easy to fight? Shengjing might not have much but there are enough powerful families and officials! And when they are all dissatisfied and jointly exert their power, it’s not something an insignificant, famous, and powerless lieutenant colonel can compete against.
Lieutenant colonel! The corners of Liang Tao’s eyes twitched again. This rank should have been hung on his shoulder.
GPS!? A frosty look blanketed the face of Liang Tao. Don’t you know that a GPS with a revised map has been sold to you?
SWISH…
Suddenly, four 30mm caliber guns popped out from both sides of the group. Qin Fen’s eyes widened at the sight of them. Tear Gas!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Four muffled shots rang as thumb-thick tear gas shots flew out from the barrel with a long visible trail.
More than fifty riders took off their helmets at the same time and rushed at Qin Fen carrying all kinds of weapons. On each and everyone’s face was a gas mask.
Liang Tao smiled. His eyes teared up as his great hatred was about to be satisfied. His voice also became hysterical, “Attack! If you defeat him, you will have the chance to become the grandson-in-law of Earth Martial God! Qin Fen, you might have escaped last time, but I will see if you can get lucky this time!”
Last time!? Escaped!? Was that assassin ranked ninth in blood ranking not hired by the Golden Triangle but this brat… Qin Fen suddenly came to a realization. It seems that I have underestimated the revenge mentality of these people. He was clearly in the wrong, but he actually said this in such a righteous manner, like he’s the victim.
Qin Fen narrowed his eyes as he carefully observed everything around him as his hands randomly seemed to touch here and there. Having been trained in the hands of several boot camp drill instructors, he already had antibodies for this common tear gas. Even if he didn’t have a gas mask, he wouldn’t be affected much by it.
In fact, there was a gunman on both sides of the alley. The weapon in their hands wasn’t a tear gas launcher but a real gun! It was a portably AK47 which was often used by the terrorists to carry out terrorist attacks. The bullets fired from it could easily penetrate through the walls and even some ordinary bulletproof vests.
Liang Tao looked at a young man rushing to Qin Fen’s side with pleasure. These people were the famous playboys of Shengjing. Each and every one of them was a troublemaker and always got away with it because of the backing of their respective families. Yesterday, when Qin Fen threw down nine challenges to these playboys in one breath, how could these face-loving playboys continue to be arrogant in Shengjing with their faces smeared?
What a ruthless group! Qin Fen stared at the two oncoming knives which were aiming at the most vulnerable areas on his shoulders. There was an eighty to ninety percent likelihood that these strikes would result in a lifelong disability. Judging from the accuracy, the attacker was surely an old-timer and not just a greenhorn.
Right then, two Mag Drive Flying swords came flying close to the ground, leaving a long trail of dust; their target was Qin Fen’s tendon.
If someone’s tendons were destroyed… he would have to live either in a wheelchair or on crutches for the rest of his life. In short, he could forget walking on his feet ever again.
They might not be strong, but their means are quite ruthless! A cold gleam flashed past Qin Fen’s narrowed eyes. He was paying more attention to the people holding the guns on both ends of the alley. That was the thing that had a real lethal threat.
“Die…”
As the attacker holding the knife pressed his finger, a series of blue arcs flew from the snow-white knife. Not only would this injure Qin Fen but it would also make sure that Qin Fen would completely lose his combat power.
Without resorting to Dragon Guard or the Martial Emperor Dragon Fist, Qin Fen raised his hand and grabbed the wrist of the attacker. Circulating the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, as Qin Fen fiercely exerted force in his fingers, the sound of bones breaking instantly passed into the ears of everyone around, drowning their loud shouts.
Qin Fen was in the nine-star level. Even a bluestone would be smashed apart under the full brunt of Qin Fen’s anger, let along the fragile wrist of a young martial artist.
“Ah…”
A tragic wail of anguish resounded in the alley that was no longer quiet.
Nonetheless, the dozens of boys were not deterred by this miserable scream. On the contrary, they became even more vicious because of this scene. Meanwhile, the two Mag Drive Flying Swords were already upon Qin Fen’s tendons. Qin Fen promptly raised his left foot and stepped on the two flying swords as a crisp metallic clang rang out. The flying swords emitted sparks like the death throes of a fish out of the water, but they were unable to move anymore.
Almost at the same time, Qin Fen, using the Twisting Single Mountain Thrust, crashing into the group on the right.
In this narrow alley, having more men didn’t necessarily give an advantage. It was impossible for more than four people to deal with Qin Fen at the same time.
As Qin Fen crashed into the arms of a young man, not only did his sternum break with a cracking sound, but a tyrannical force penetrated his body, breaking his spine in multiple places.
Before anyone could react, the two people who were hit by Qin Fen flew off the ground with such force no one could’ve ever imagined it.
The other young men behind the two were hit by their own companions. And the companions who crashed into them wasn’t human but a speeding racing car that was out of control.
Having attacked in anger, Qin Fen’s hit had opened up a path beside him, and he had also seized the steel saber from the hands of the two young martial artists. Suddenly, Qin Fen’s arms cracked the air like willows in the wind as two steel sabers flew left and right with an oppressive brilliance.
The two gunmen at the entrance of the alley were holding their guns in leisure.
These people had already done this kind of thing not just once or twice.
Many victims had been crippled for life by them in a similar manner. And they had never failed.
How strong can a lone young man be? How much longer can he fight? Even if all four kings of Shengjing were present here, they would still not be able to break through this Blocking Dragon Formation that was invented by everyone.
Suddenly, the crowd on one side of the alley scattered and collapsed like they had been hit by a flood. The two gunmen were so shocked that they even forgot to pull themselves out of harm’s way and unconsciously reached to pull the trigger…
Puff… puff…
Before they could even pull the trigger, the knives hurling in the air cut straight into the right arms of the gunmen. The force behind the knives was so tremendous that it prevented the knives from getting embedded in the bones of the right shoulder, directly chopping their arms off instead.
Blood gushed out from the chopped arms of the two young men like a fountain as miserable screams pierced through the alley. The other attacking young men were shaken by this scene.
Qin Fen’s feet didn’t stop at all. Borrowing the leverage from the walls of the alley, he jumped out of the crowd and caught the falling AK47 before bending down and picking up a helmet with his right hand. Before anyone could react, Qin Fen threw that helmet with the black shades directly at the Liang Tao’s mag drive flying car in the sky.
Liang Tao felt a jolt after a loud crash. The car that was just levitating in the sky very smoothly was rocking left and right wildly at this moment. The data on the dashboard was jumping back and forth.
The rest of the young men were left gawking. Liang Tao was about fifty meters above the ground. It was already difficult to throw a large rock and hit the car, yet someone had hit the car with a helmet, with such force that it completely deformed the bottom of the car as well. As for the helmet, it exploded like a bomb.
If… if the helmet was a bit harder, then… Everyone’s back was drenched in cold sweat. Perhaps the bottom of this mag drive flying car would not just have been deformed?.
