Chapter 514: Lonely Fist; Invincible Loneliness

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Heavenly Flicker”.

Extreme speed martial dao Tian Lasen’s super movement technique! The fastest martial artist Qin Fen had ever seen. This was a super martial dao grandmaster who was extremely obsessed with speed. The angle of approach, how to change the body muscles to attain minimum air friction when going forward, how to release true energy to be able to maximize its effectiveness against air friction, how to increase the burst of an instantaneous driving force, how to use the power of the explosion to make a second superposition, and much more…

Master once said that even if Zong Juelu’s ability to surpa.s.s his own star-cla.s.s was used in speed, he would still be unable to suppress the ability of Tian Lasen. If both parties flickered under the same situation, he had more faith in Tian Lasen instead of G.o.d-defying martial dao Zong Juelu.

“If you invoke speed to the maximum, even if you don’t attack, the impact of the body is already enough to make you invincible!”

Qin Fen did not forget that when Tian Lasen first met him, that declaration that he made with pride and confidence was personally demonstrated the lethality of bodily collision within the same star-cla.s.s.

In the ground aura s.h.i.+eld state of the eighteen star-cla.s.s, Qin Fen did not want to try this kind of impact. When the ankle and the waist turned around, the right arm linked with the shoulder and jolted like a big spear that broke into the enemy formation. Inductively trying to detect the opponent that was coming in fast, he made one strike, purely based on his martial artist’s instinct, aura splitting wave breaker!

Puff! The aura of the spear thrust into thin air and the shadow of extreme speed martial dao Tian Lasen was no longer in front of him. Instead, the eerie impact was once again heard from behind him.

Qin Fen’s left arm which had stayed beside him, turned again along the body while the jabbing motion of the right arm became an upward thrust. The two arms were like twin dragons that flew up and down. The body turned rapidly and left afterimages in the air, as if the whole person became a three-headed and six-armed person.

Divine Boxing’s Group Warfare Upgraded Version: Prince Nezha’s Triumph Against Dragon King!

At the time, the s.p.a.ce around Qin Fen was like the roar from the G.o.d of Rain and the elements raged within the air all around him.

Sixteen shadows of Tian Lasen appeared around Qin Fen. At about the same time, these supposedly virtual shadows all pounced at Qin Fen, as if there really were sixteen Tian Lasens. The attacks came intensively from all directions like a barrage of cannons. In that instant, Qin Fen’s high-speed rotation was brought to a sudden halt and he floated high in the air.

In an instant, the presence of the extreme speed martial dao Tian Lasen disappeared. It was replaced by a bone-chilling cold and murderous intent so strong it was as though he had ended up in h.e.l.l. Military Kill Ripper’s body transpired a horrifying murderous intent, and from above Qin Fen, it came down like a cannonball at high speeds.

Martial dao of ma.s.sacre! A greater presence than the former Venus Divine Beast White Tiger, a much more powerful martial dao of ma.s.sacre!

He was also an eighteen-star cla.s.s with the same ground aura s.h.i.+eld level! Qin Fen endured the martial dao of ma.s.sacre for less than five seconds and unleashed his own punch. He suddenly felt that the opponent that was in front of him turn into thin air. The non-aggression dao Hua Qihou clearly stood right in front of him.

In this world, the strongest defense is not offense, nor is it being flawless or being full of flaws. Instead, it is when you see the opponent, it would seem as though the opponent was not there. Every punch thrown would feel like it did not hit the opponent, rather, it would leave you feeling like you were throwing random punches in the air.

Hua Qihou’s non-aggression dao was like this: it took all of the flawed and flawless positions and just made them disappear!

Those who could hide flaws and flawlessness were the people who knew the most about flaws in this world! Qin Fen admired Hua Qihou’s argument that the strongest punch of any powerful martial artist was a punch that didn’t allow the enemy to escape, or hide, or even fight back.

Due to the difference in each individual’s martial dao, the same punch in the eyes of different people produced different effects. Some would choose to face that punch, perhaps feeling like that punch filled up the world; some would notice the gap in that punch and chose to dodge or evade; some would’ve actually found the gap and counterattacked.

The non-aggression dao that Hua Qihou researched… in simple terms, it was about flaws of other martial daos. However, non-aggression dao did not mean that it would not be offensive. As a person who studied the flaws of all techniques in the world, could he not know how to attack? Of course not! Non-aggression dao, in fact, was one of the world’s very few offensive masters!

Non-aggression dao did not mean it was a dao of non-attack, rather it was meant to make the opponent feel that the fight was unfair, as he became the attacking force!

Qin Fen’s elbow that unleashed Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds suddenly sank and faced Hua Qihou’s kick which made it through the flaw of Invest.i.ture of the G.o.ds. The eighteen-star cla.s.s ground aura s.h.i.+eld made Qin Fen helpless, as he had hidden some of his flaws through his counterattack. The opponent still managed to break through his powerful strength.

Hua Qihou succeeded in his first move and followed up offensively! Even if Qin Fen stood still and turned his whole body into flaws and tried to achieve a state of “once you are flawed all over, then every move you make has no flaws”, Hua Qihou did not intend to stop.

In the words of Hua Qihou: “Once you are flawed all over, then will every move you make have no flaws? Bullsh*t! If you are full of flaws, just simply pick one flaw and attack that! Since they are all flaws, why should you think about which one to attack? It does not matter if it is a real flaw or not, as long as you hit it, then he has to move. Once he moves, there will be real flaw. If he still does not move, then just hit him. His so-called flawed body will truly turn into a flaw then! As long as he moves, then there must be flaws.”

Every move was a heavy attack and every move was a weakness! Even if Qilin was against Qin Fen, it was almost impossible for him to be like Hua Qihou, where his every simple move was aimed straight for Qin Fen’s weak spots. It was not that Hua Qihou’s martial dao was beyond Qilin’s martial dao, but rather because Hua Qihou was too familiar with Qin Fen. All of Qin Fen’s martial arts techniques were clearly known to Hua Qihou, so it was not strange that he gained the upper hand in this match.

Since Qin Fen’s debut, he had always had the upper hand in most of the battles. As he once again experienced being put in a pa.s.sive position as he took a beating, there was a different feeling in his heart.

Vile martial dao! Zeng Yicheng once again replaced Hua Qihou and executed Zhu Bajie Plucking Grapes Technique as he poked twice on Qin Fen’s upper body. The huge force was enough to directly bore two holes on the chest.

The seven masters attacked continuously in a random chaotic order. Qin Fen’s whole spirit had been elevated to the extreme and continuously adapted to the different martial dao styles. The strength and growth he gained from this half a year was unveiled and tested by the masters at this moment. Under this great pressure, some things that were not yet mature also matured.

Twenty-four hours of extensive training, Qin Fen laid horizontally in the spiritual s.p.a.ce as he gasped for air. It was not physical fatigue, but rather the twenty-four hours of uninterrupted chaotic combat with the seven masters had pushed his mind to such a tense state that it had nearly collapsed.

The seven masters disappeared, and Qin Fen found himself suspended in the spiritual s.p.a.ce. He wanted to rest, but his brain could not truly go to rest; every inch of his skin and muscles, recalled the previous fierce battle.

One hour…two hours…three hours…five hours…

Qin Fen’s spirit slowly relaxed. The master once again appeared in front of Qin Fen and looked at Qin Fen, who still laid in the air, “Do you know what G.o.d is?”

Qin Fen shook his head and nodded again, “Divine dao is above all, and it is all-inclusive.”

“You are right, but not totally right.” The master said faintly, “G.o.d does have these qualities that you mentioned, but G.o.d has another, the most important one, and you have not said it.”

Master ‘sat’ beside Qin Fen and looked to the skies, “And that is loneliness.”

“Loneliness?” Qin Fen sat up.

“Loneliness, isn’t it?” The master turned to look at Qin Fen, “G.o.d in the Bible, he is omnipotent. Why did he create humans? It was not stated in the Bible, but if you read the Bible, it was because he was lonely. Otherwise why would he create humans? There were also a growing number of interactions between him and humans. Why would he want to interact with humans as a G.o.d? Because he was lonely.”

Master smiled, “The Seven Fairies descended, the Third Madonnas were married to mortals, why? Because G.o.ds are lonely.”

Qin Fen was stunned. He thought that G.o.d was almighty, but he never really brought himself into the mind of a so-called G.o.d and contemplated whether what kind of feeling it was.

“Yeah, loneliness.” Master smiled again, “In your history, isn’t there a so-called War G.o.d? Or at least, there is a War G.o.d t.i.tle, have you ever thought about how they felt?”

Qin Fen became silent. Divine Boxing was not only great and grand, it also had loneliness – the loneliness that was carved deeply into the bone marrow.

The master disappeared. A human form showed up once again in the dark spiritual s.p.a.ce. The pure light body did not look very similar to humans, but its voice and expression had absolutely no emotion.

Figure of light! In addition to the seven masters, the first thing that Qin Fen saw back then was this figure of light. He thought that it would never appear again and did not expect it to appear here.

“Looking for a matching character prototype… commencing spiritual docking…”

The figure of light’s voice still had no emotion, and its two eyes radiated red light, as if a computer was performing high-speed calculations.

Character prototype? Matching? Qin Fen blanked out for a moment and saw that the arms of the figure were wide open. The dark void turned into a blood-red glow and this glow instantly rushed over. Without even a chance of dodging, everything suddenly turned red in front of his eyes, and the surrounding environment changed again.

The empty dark void had gone away, and it was replaced by a luminous light, an ice-cold weapon-esque fluorescence, and a slightly dim tent cloth around it, as well as a simple animal hide rug.

Qin Fen turned his head as he looked around in confusion. This is… the weird figure of light made another virtual scene for training?

Qin Fen lowered his head and looked at the Lion’s Flame Copper Armor on his chest. Then he raised his eyes and looked at the Skyward Phoenix Gold Crown. He touched the Belt of Lion’s Might on his waist, and his five fingers gripped the Heaven Scorcher Halberd.

What is this? Qin Fen was stunned. He felt that his body suddenly stood up without being ordered to do so. Then he watched as his body slowly moved forward, pick up a square towel and gently wiped the Heaven Scorcher Halberd. Only then he realized that this body was not his own.

It was just that he had just sat in the same posture as this fierce and handsome man a moment ago and they were imposed on one another.

“Feng Xian, you seem to be very happy.”

The big tent was opened, and a glimmer of moonlight shone in from outside. The man who walked in was tall and had broad shoulders, and the red armor he wore looked like flames.

Feng Xian? Heaven Scorcher Halberd? Lion’s Flame Copper Armor? Is this… Is this Lu Bu of Three Kingdoms? Qin Fen was stunned, How did the figure of light place me here?

The man who was called Feng Xian turned around slowly, and there was an unspeakable joy on his face. He looked at the red-armored man who walked in and nodded. “Yeah, Shun. I am really happy. I hope that the warriors will not let me down at Hulao Pa.s.s tomorrow.”

For a moment, Qin Fen felt as if he felt the heart of Feng Xian, and the feeling of expectation rose.

“As long as you are happy,” the red-armored man smiled and retired from the tent, “After all these years, you finally have a chance to do away with that loneliness.”

Do away with the loneliness? Qin Fen found that he could feel the red-armored man’s thoughts. This person was really called Lu Bu and he had never been happy all his life. His opponents had all been so weak, and being undefeated did not make him happy. Or at least it could not keep him happy forever. He wanted to meet a worthy opponent, someone who he could go all out against and a chance to truly allow the Heaven Scorcher Halberd to s.h.i.+ne.

Lu Bu smiled and nodded and remained silent. He sat on the animal hide rug, and focused on wiping the blade of Heaven Scorcher Halberd. He muttered to himself, “All the warriors of the world have gathered here. You and I should no longer be lonely. Are you excited too? Me too. Tomorrow… Tomorrow…”

Qin Fen looked at Lu Bu from the side, the man’s face was very serious. Other than the excitement between his eyebrows, there was also an unspeakable loneliness.

As the night pa.s.sed and morning came, a large number of soldiers gathered together and raised up the banner with the word “Lu” in the wind. The creaking sounds were like excited roars, and horns sounded throughout the battlefield.

Qin Fen stood by and looked at the Red Hare that Lu Bu rode, the Skyward Phoenix Gold Crown on his head, the Lion’s Flame Copper Armor on his chest, and the Hundred Flower Battle Robe that he donned as he held the Heaven Scorcher Halberd that s.h.i.+mmered even brighter than the sun under the sun’s rays.

Hulao Pa.s.s was just right behind Lu Bu. Even though the huge pa.s.s was behind Lu Bu, it gave off the impression that it was very small, like a pet.i.te woman beside Lu Bu.

Opposite the open plain, banners were also unfolding in the wind, and the army of the eighteen princes lined up like a prehistoric beast with its mouth wide open.

Lu Bu guided his horse as he held the halberd and stood out. He thrust the halberd into the ground! As the dust settled down, the big halberd that once swept the world just stood there quietly on the ground.

He looked at the big army and sat still on his horse, like a War G.o.d!

Gooseb.u.mps rose across Qin Fen’s body. Lu Bu’s martial strength was nowhere near his, but in this era he was a symbol of invincible martial strength. He who really stood at the top developed an aura. It was not an aura of total annihilation, nor of great might, but rather an aura of loneliness!

Only those who pursue invincibility would release an aura of total annihilation. Only those who pursue invincibility would have the aura of vast and mighty.

Someone who had attained true invincibility would no longer yearn for invincibility, he hoped that someone would be able to match him! At that time, what he releases was an aura of loneliness, a loneliness that stems from being invincible.

The war drums resounded throughout the battlefield. Qin Fen saw that one of the eighteen princes was riding a horse, he carried the Fire Dragon’s Silver Lance in his hand. The cold murderous intent made him and his horse rush towards Lu Bu as he shouted, “Shangdang Mushun¹.”

“Mu Shun?”

Qin Fen saw a hint of disappointment in the eyes of Lu Bu. One night of hoping and looking forward, and it turned out to be just such an easy opponent. So this was the warrior of the world?

Mushun’s horse was quick and his lance quicker, the Fire Dragon’s Silver Lance rubbed against the air and made a sharp whistle. The clamor of a reaper was brought up. Lu Bu sighed, and the Red Hare suddenly c.o.c.ked up high and kicked Mu Shun in the brain with one hoof, which instantly kicked him off his horse and killed him.

The war drums of the eighteen princes suddenly stopped. Lu Bu did not even make his move, and he had already killed someone. Qin Fen saw that there was any happiness nor pride in Lu Bu’s eyes. There was only disappointment, as if he was asking, was this the warrior of the world?

Another warhorse rushed out from the formation. This man shouted with a pair of octagonal bright silver hammers as his horse rushed forward, “Wu Guoan will be your opponent!”

Lu Bu looked at the hammer that came falling down. The disappointment in his eyes was not reduced. He raised his left arm and hit the hammer with his palm. He heard Wu Guoan’s hand bones release a series of cracking sounds. The two hammers fell to the ground and Wu Guoan quickly turned around and fled with his horse.

Lu Bu did not give chase. Qin Fen understood from his eyes that this War G.o.d of the Three Kingdoms era as proclaimed by others was not interested in chasing such opponents. He was waiting, waiting for a worthy opponent, one worthy enough for him to pull out the Heaven Scorcher Halberd against.

The mentality was totally different! Qin Fen gradually began to understand the inner world of Lu Bu: this was a responsibility! A responsibility borne from the world’s number one expert, the one who was invincible!

One general… two generals… three generals… ten generals…

The disappointment in Lu Bu’s eyes increased. He looked at the generals who didn’t even have the qualifications for him to make a move. His lips evoked self-deprecation, Am I going to always be this lonely?

“Lu Fengxian!”

A thunderous howl suddenly blew up, and out of the crowd, a man with a face as dark as charcoal rushed out. He held a Twenty Inch Snake Spear, and his violent aura even suppressed the aura of the army behind him.

Qin Fen saw that the loneliness in Lu Bu’s eyes had decreased and it was replaced with excitement and happiness! Even the Heaven Scorcher Halberd that was impaled on the ground released a loud hum.

Red Hare stomped its hoof hard into the ground, and the Heaven Scorcher Halberd that was impaled on the ground was shaken out of the ground by this force. Lu Bu held the Heaven Scorcher Halberd in one hand, and his whole aura had become completely different.

Qin Fen suddenly found himself attracted to this Lu Bu, and once again overlapped with Lu Bu. He watched as Lu Bu swung his halberd and parried Zhang Fei’s snake spear while attacking Zhang Fei with the halberd until he retreated.

With this overlap, Qin Fen felt the happiness within Lu Bu’s heart. Although he was not truly satisfied, he was no longer as lonely as before.

Another person rushed out of the crowd, and the Azure Dragon Broadsword slashed across the sky, as if a real dragon had arrived.

Two against one? This non-heroic manner of combat did not make Lu Bu feel dissatisfied at all. Qin Fen even felt that when Lu Bu faced two opponents, his heart was filled with more happiness. The halberd in his hand thrust, pierced, jabbed and hacked as it traded blows and sparks flew off as they fought.

Another person emerged from the crowd, Liu Bei and his double-stranded swords joined the fray. Lu Bu’s big halberd deflected the long sword and hacked in another direction. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu’s sword and spear came over.

Three against one? Qin Fen felt that Lu Bu’s happiness was decreasing. It was not because he was angry about the increase of opponents, but because a troublemaker appeared while he was having fun.

Lu Bu could barely find any flaws in Zhang Fei and Guan Yu’s cooperation and he was able to go all out with all his martial arts techniques. But after the third person appeared, the cooperation between Zhang Fei and Guan Yu became flawed. Every time the Heaven Scorcher Halberd stabbed towards Liu Bei, the two of them would come to Liu Bei’s rescue.

Qin Fen found that even when Lu Bu was in danger, if he attacked Liu Bei, the two of them would give away the upper hand and rush to rescue Liu Bei.

The addition of a person did not increase the lethality but instead added such an obvious flaw. Qin Fen felt that Lu Bu had once again returned to the state of complete invincibility, and his happiness became loneliness again.

“It is unfortunate that there is a meddling rat!”

Lu Bu sighed, and it would be boring to continue this fight. If he exploited this flaw to kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, wouldn’t he be more lonely in the future? We will put a pause to this fight here and now for today!

Qin Fen heard Lu Bu sigh and looked at Lu Bu who returned to Hulao Pa.s.s on horseback. The scene in front of him began to become blurry. The loneliness revealed by Lu Bu’s back did not fade away. Instead, became more and more obvious.
