The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 467: In A Mere Single Move!

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The strength of the sixteen-star was suddenly reduced to fifteen-stars the moment the battle began. The battle intent gathered by the four martial dao masters were once again scattered in an instant.

Chi Lei’s eyebrows were raised high, both of his hands emitting flickering true energy with the temperature of a magma heat. The energy flickered like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any time by a slight breeze.

“Kid, what do you mean?” Chi Lei’s voiced out his strong dissatisfaction hoarsely, his anger fueled every word from his mouth.

The other three martial dao masters remained silent and only expressed their dissatisfaction through their expressions. The Furinkazan formation would not be used on a martial dao master of the same level, as it was only used in battles against higher star-levels.

Qin Fen’s sixteen-star strength naturally had no problems and was qualified enough for the Furinkazan formation to be used on him. However, lowering his sixteen-star level to fifteen-stars was clearly an insult in the eyes of everyone!

Qin Fen looked at the four angry martial dao masters, his shoulders sank slightly and said calmly, “I hope that the seniors here will allow me to use the fifteen-star strength to fight the Furinkazan formation...”

“Insolence!”

Chi Lei raised his voice and interrupted Qin Fen’s words. His constant training of the Magma Art had given him a bad temper. Chi Lei had kept his temper in check for the sake of Song Jia, but as he was repeatedly insulted by Qin Fen, he could no longer stand it. The watered grass below his feet instantly turned into a pile of black ash as a fiery light around him rushed to the top of his head. From afar he looked like a huge red stove.

The green grass enveloped by the red light was burnt into black ash in a blink of an eye. The fertile soil followed suit, as the water in it was swiftly evaporated, causing a dry split a few feet across the soil.

Chi Lei took a deep breath, intensifying the colors of his fiery, red skin. His pupils eventually became red in color, as if his eyes were housing the most precious rubies in the world, shining repeatedly in accordance with his true energy.

As he bent down, the strong and thick spine of his produced sounds as the joints of his spine rubbed against each other. The sound of his rubbing spine became the only sound on the mountain, giving the impression that the bones in his body were being broken.

He bent his waist and legs and the sounds from his spine rose like a thunder. The muscles slightly bulged under his skin as the skin began to gradually glow, like a car that just got a new paint job.

In the darkness, the flaming true energy that brightened up the area around him gave away a surreal feeling — as if he wasn’t a real, living person, but a legendary Balrog.

Qin Fen nodded in admiration at the sight. The martial artists under the divine beasts are indeed outstanding. Martial dao masters were rarely seen in the outside world, yet I’ve already seen four of them at the Qilin Mountain. This Chi Lei that is practicing the Magma Art and the Blazing Blade Technique was also really good. Among the fifteen-stars martial dao masters I’ve encountered, he might be the strongest one.

Chi Lei saw the admiration in Qin Fen’s eyes and sneered a little. Chi Lei slightly moved his body in rhythm with the magma true energy and made a shout that pierced the silent night sky. His raging shout echoed throughout the air in distant lands.

Cooperating with the magma’s true energy, the long whistle formed a gust of fire. Power and spirit infused in every inch of the skin as if it was to be ejected from the pores. The blazing power rose continuously, like a fire demon from the legends.

Chi Lei closed his mouth suddenly, stopping the long whistle that came out of his body. The aura of power that had nowhere to vent was flowing across his body. Chi Lei slammed his big feet into the ground, making an imposing posture; the ground he stomped on had collapsed, with black smoke following the gust of his advance that swept in whichever creatures he passed by.

With just a jump, Chi Lei had already reached in front of Qin Fen. His step shook the earth like a one-tonne heavy cannon shot. His aura was of utmost majesty.

Chi Lei seemed to prefer attacking undeclared. His first strike was in full strength as he spread his arms wide open, channeling the red magma true energy to the exterior of his arms and palms. Both of his arms were like two blazing blades, aiding his resemblance to an ancient general charging with a thousand men; his resemblance was reinforced further with the sudden twist of his wrist that left a faint red mark in the air that his wrists swiped, like a slash wound from slashing his enemies.

Situ Nan’s eyelids and lips were twitching at their corners. Deep down inside he blamed Qin Fen for being too arrogant, which caused him to use Eclipse, an ultimate Blazing Blade Technique that he would only use during a deathmatch.

In just an instant, Chi Lei had released all the skills he had in his life, eliminating the distance between him and Qin Fen and appearing in front of him. Chi Lei put his palms together, absorbing the magma true energy into his body. The bright red light of his body intensified, as he sliced his palms down to Qin Fen like a polearm, causing a bright slashing shadow as if its a real saber.

Heaven and earth!

Suddenly, Chi Lei raised his aura power and strength to the extreme from the violent screaming to the strike, converting the Eclipse to Heaven and Earth to form an ultimate hit! He had achieved the most perfect form that his martial dao could potentially achieve.

This combination of Heaven and Earth was more perfect than the Taebaek fist of Bae Seong-Joon at the Hallasan, as the targeting was more accurate and brutal.

Feeling the burning power in front of him, Qin Fen remained in his lunging posture. He formed an arc with his arms like vines around a tree, he did not use any offensive abilities like the Dragon Cannon, but rather the technique he saw during the battle between the Master and Song Wendong at the Qilin Peak — the entangling techniques from the Lord of Entanglement, Hui Yichan, “Entanglement”!

With the move by Qin Fen, the fierce and blazing battlefield softened up a little. Qin Fen blocked “Heaven and Earth” with his left hand while reinforcing the deflection with his right hand on his left hand while turning it clockwise.

The ferocious Heaven and Earth of Chi Lei were seemingly blocked by a minor force. Chi Lei’s heart felt worse than having his move being blocked by an arm, as if the entanglement did not tangle his fist, but rather his heart.

Situ Nan was surprised to find out that the violent aura of Chi Lei’s “Heaven and Earth” was greatly diminished. Qin Fen’s arms were seemingly drawing a circular force... looking back now, he realized it was actually an illusory technique. Hidden within was the real killing blow of a soft knife. Turning thousands of times like a silkworm producing silk, Chi Lei’s merged blades had yet to release its killing blow when it was disabled by Qin Fen’s arm.

The sharpness of the “Heaven and Earth” blade did not seem to dull. Chi Lei’s lips couldn’t stop twitching. The entanglement might seem to have no destructive power and would not even change the course of the attack of “Heaven and Earth”. Yet he couldn’t break the entanglement with his power. The entanglement of his arms gave him an indescribable discomfort.

“Not good!” Chi Lei screamed in his heart, and the arms of Heaven and Earth began to feel a stinging pain as if it was being violently swayed by the tyrannical force, but how it felt did was not like the weakness of entanglement from Qin Fen.

A kill with a soft knife! Vile King Zheng Yicheng’s evaluation of Hui Yichan’s “Entanglement” referred to the frog boiling in warm water; people’s arms would be removed before they understood what was going on.

After watching the master’s battle against Qilin, Qin Fen’s understanding of the word “tangle” had become more profound. His tangling arms were like two huge anacondas and it also looked like a huge sky net, immediately blocking Chi Lei’s Heaven and Earth technique by enveloping the knives.

The Entanglement was not a martial dao trick, but rather a special martial arts technique by Hui Yichan — Entanglement! This technique can be applied to any part of the body, in which it would bind the body parts like a stalker stalking their victim.

Qin Fen couldn’t produce a constriction as powerful as Hui Yichan’s “Tangle”. However, after watching the battle of the masters, it was more than sufficient for Chi Lei. As his arms were tangled, his legs were also tangled along with them, effectively binding the sturdy lower body of Chi Lei’s.

This is? Chi Lei was shocked. Heaven and Earth at its core might just consist of a straightforward charge, but it also possesses the capability to transform. When facing an opponent with an extremely strong defense, the Heaven and Earth could be split into two, transforming into tens of thousands of blazing blade to attack the opponent from all sides. However, Chi Lei felt powerless at this moment, as he twisted his palms and shot fire blades in every direction. The red, hot, blazing blades were seemingly becoming countless small knives as it was shot out from his arms.

Qin Fen’s face was as deep as the abyss. He bent his waist downwards and spun his arms, propelling himself forcefully to the back! Before Chi Lei could land his killing blow, he felt a sense of lightness in his lower body, as if gravity had disappeared beneath his legs. Unable to resist, Chi Lei’s legs were grabbed by Qin Fen and he was thrown across the field with a simple Judo shoulder throw, landing heavily on his back.

The change was so fast to the point that the other three martial dao masters fell into shock at the same time! They could never think that Chi Lei, a martial dao master that had experienced countless battles, would be so easily defeated by this young man with such a move.

Situ Nan’s toes touched the ground as he traversed lightly across the ground and swept the long metal rod in his hands, producing a bright golden light everywhere he passed by. A deep rolling sound rang across the air, complementing the demon-like movements of Situ Nan as he appeared in front of Qin Fen, sweeping his long rod and rotating it at high speed to produce a bright golden-red fire from the friction with the air. The metal rod now possessed a piercing ability stronger than the conventional long spear.

Without any signs of panic, Qin Fen separated his hands and placed it onto the rod, causing the blue electric light to intensify with cracking sounds. Situ Nan smirked and pulled his arm upwards to separate the slightly paralyzed Qin Fen from the electrified rod.

Bang! The moment the metal rod was pushed away, the rod made a dull sound and presented a curved shape like an arch bridge. Qin Fen’s arms did not show signs of separation from the rod, as they were still firmly wrapped around the rod.

This is? Situ Nan was shocked. He didn’t think that the flaunting of his peacock would be so easily stopped by the Entanglement. Furthermore, he also didn’t expect that the high current shock was ineffective to Qin Fen, as his arms were unaffected from the paralyzing effects of the electric shock.

It was the exact opposite! A powerful pulling force suddenly came along with the long rod. Situ Nan could only feel a burning sensation in his hands. The very rod that he always held in his hands was being thrown away by someone else as he watched helplessly.

During the training at the Sacred Martial Hall, Qin Fen had gone through countless strange trials under the tutelage of the Asura in developing his activity level. The stimulation of high voltage current? That was merely part of Qin Fen’s foundational training.

After a long period of hellish training, Qin Fen’s body possessed a strong antibody. Tens of thousands of volts of current was nothing for him; even for everyone in Qin Fen’s team, the current was nothing.

Situ Nan bent down his waist and sank his fingers into the soil. The grass under his feet was seemingly smeared with tung oil; allowing him to quickly slide to Qin Fen with a pull.

Situ Nan’s feet slammed on the ground as he let go of his rod and flew off the ground with his Wukong Technique. If I got caught by Qin Fen, that wouldn’t be good!

Qin Fen let out a long laugh and stabbed the ground with his rod. Moving towards Situ Nan at lightning pace with his hands open, Qin Fen grabbed Situ Nan’s foot that had just left the ground and forced him back down to the ground.

Boom! The ground produced another shock, another person fell heavily into the ground beside Chi Lei. The long metal rod behind Qin Fen also disappeared completely from everyone’s eyes. The mighty force had forced the rod into the ground completely, as if the long stick never existed in this world.

Yao Guang’s quiet eyes could no longer hide his surprise. The promotion of Chi Lei and Situ Nan into fifteen-stars didn’t just happen overnight but was rather a result of several life-threatening battles that made them the top martial dao masters of fifteen-stars they were today.

With a display of ultimate strength from a martial artist, blocking it with full force was a must, especially when fighting martial artists of the same rank. How could Qin Fen turn the tides of the battle with just a lift of his finger, easily defeating his opponent as if his opponent wasn’t of equal rank, but a kid that had just begun practicing martial arts?

In front of Qin Fen, the two martial arts masters did not even have the ability to fight decently. It was an overwhelming victory. Situ Nan and Chi Lei were unable to retaliate.

Even Yao Guang and Wu Guang couldn’t accept such results. They knew the strength of Chi Lei and Situ Nan too well. Apart from divine beast martial artists like the Qilin, the feat of swiftly defeating Chi Lei and Situ Nan with a fifteen-star strength could only be achieved by the Constellation Warriors. They couldn’t accept the fact that a young martial dao master that just surpassed fifteen-stars was able to attain such an easy victory.

Yao Guang and Lian Wuguang looked at each other and saw their decisions in each other. Even if they knew Qin Fen really had such brutal strength, they would have to try fighting him themselves! Without fighting him personally, they would be unable to fully believe the brutal fighting strength of Qin Fen, a young martial dao master no older than twenty!

Qin Fen proceeded to lunge with both of his palms pulled apart from one another. He slowly nodded and said, “I shall take on both of you seniors at once.”
