Chapter 576 - Mobile Storm (2/2)
The devil beasts were originally a group of beasts that feared no death or injury. However, this was their first time realizing that their enemies were even more fearless of death and injury.
In just a dozen breaths, the beasts at the front of their teams were annihilated by Lin Liqiang’s fighting robots in a machine-fueled storm.
Angry roars shook the woods. Qin Fen felt that the front-moving devil beasts were spreading, forming an encirclement, resembling the process of making dumplings.
“Qin Fen, that is the language of the beast.” The voice of Number One came through the headset, “Just now, the scythe Devil Marshal ordered that you — the prey — should be kept alive as long as possible for the Queen Bee to consume and produce a stronger beast.”
“Is that so?” Lin Liqiang smiled. “I don’t just need specimens that are alive. I also want dead ones.”
Another roar was followed by three huge figures breaking through the woods and into the sky. The backs of two dark shadows spread open wings as transparent as a dragonfly’s, with the center of the unfolding wing resembling a beautiful butterfly. They might look soft and powerless, but they were extremely fast in flight!
“They can evolve a lot of abilities, and they can learn the martial dao of humans, but…” Number One spoke with a hint of ridicule, “No one besides the Queen Bee can learn the Wukong Technique. So there are various kinds of wings to aid them in flying.”
Qin Fen looked up at the scythe devil beast with wings as beautiful as a butterfly’s. He could feel the fierce, murderous rage and overwhelming power from thousands of meters away.
“That is the scythe devil beast?” Qin Fen readied his fists with fighting intent rising in his heart. The aura shield in his body was rising rapidly, his heart beating loudly from the pumping of blood, like the beating of war drums before a battle in ancient times.
“Is it still not possible? I still can’t attain the Celestial Aura shield?” Qin Fen frowned and looked at his icy, jade-like body, “Even with this compression and condensation I still can’t attain the Celestial Aura shield? If Tagatha could do it this way, why can’t I? Rolling in a whirlpool stance, integrating the martial dao with the true energy of the Ground Aura, transforming it into a rope to constrain and tighten…”
“Old Qin…” Brooks put his hand on the saber handle and smiled at the sky toward the scythe devil beasts, “Today, I will give you the big one. When we return, you have to spend money and treat me to a meal! Although I don’t lack money, I can feel a sense of accomplishment if I can get you to treat me for a meal. After all, treating us to a meal with your character makes us feel better.”
Spend money? Character? Qin Fen looked at the sky and laughed at the three-meter-high scythe devil beast. Yes, character! My character is different from Tagatha’s. His method might not be suitable for me. At this point, even the masters do not dare to share too much of their thoughts with me to enlighten me. Or else, I will surely end up eventually following their old path.
Spending money! Yes! How is the contraction of Divine Boxing a child’s play? Qin Fen smiled and slowly lifted off, opening his arms to shoot out the compressed power around him!
Diffusion! Expansion! Qin Fen felt that his strength did not rose too much, yet the Ground Aura Shield of his martial dao was changing rapidly. The Ground Aura impacted every inch of his skin.
The sound of his heartbeats became even louder. The blood in Qin Fen seemed to be flowing from dozens of hundreds of faucets. His blood flowed like a high tide. His thick blue veins bulged repeatedly as his skin turned black and blue, and later to fiery red. Eventually, his skin color turned into a faint golden color, as the bones bulged open in an instant.
Pulling the bones to support the muscles! Qin Fen released his power limitlessly, growing his long-stagnant height by three meters, as if he was a real mobile armor!
The Celestial Aura Shield was released from his body and rose to the sky! The arcane flames shot majestically in the sky! In an instant, Qin Fen became more of a devil beast than a real devil beast, resembling a demon who appeared by breaking through the limits of space.
The eight eyes of the scythe Devil Marshal blinked repeatedly. It couldn’t understand how a human being could transform like this in a blink of an eye? Moreover, it had a rush to worship that human for his aura of power!
On the ground, half of the devil beasts that were about to attack knelt to the ground and bowed!
Number One couldn’t believe what it saw through the projection screen. Qin Fen was undeniably good, but his might is definitely incomparable to Qilin.
These devil beasts did not even bow down to Qilin’s might even in the human world, the time when he was at his strongest state! What on earth happened this time?
Aoooooo… the scythe Devil Marshal roared with rage. The kneeling beasts on the ground rose up shakily; they were demoralized and were unable to fight on.
“This is Divine Boxing?” Lin Liqiang shook his head repeatedly, “No matter how I look at it, it was just like Arcane Boxing? The Old Qin today was more like the great demon king ascending from the depths of hell… if he is a god, I’m afraid the only distinguishable part would be his single white wing?”
With full strength, Qin Fen’s God-Demon Body opened its black and white wings, complementing the sky-piercing Celestial Aura. The invincible expansion of power swept and shrouded every inch of space around.
“Can’t let Old Qin grab all the limelight.” Brooks pulled out his broad saber, his eyes filled with countless deep feelings, “Beyond the blade, there is none other! I can feel that I am connected to your blood!”
The earth shook, the dust rose. Brooks became one with his blade, forming a lightning bolt!
Swift! Quick! Fast!
Number One’s various electronic high-tech cameras couldn’t see the actions of Brooks, only catching a faint phantom, and the lightning-like shadow crossed with the scythe devil beasts. His saber had returned to his scabbard, and his body spurted a bloody fog, completely covering himself.
Puff puff…
The scythe beast turned its head, intending to check out the opponent that managed to get behind him so quickly, only to find that its head was severed from its body; within the next second, its body was sliced into eight pieces, its head split into two halves.
Is this… death? The last thought of the scythe beast flashed across its mind as its body broke.
Qin Fen looked at Brooks in the air and his eyes twitched a little. Killing the scythe devil beast didn’t require him to suffer many injuries. In fact, he doesn’t need to suffer any injury at all. However, he did it for the sake of his breakthrough, putting his life on the line for the results.
The saber pointed to Qin Fen from the air! Brooks laughed hysterically in the sky!
I would rather die before I allow you, Qin Fen to have a bigger power gap with me!
Qin Fen clearly accepted the information conveyed by his companions. Just from the way of attacking and the unique way of betting on everything, he saw that it was a way for Brooks, who had experienced the trip of Saturn and the battle of the Stadium, to prove his inference of martial dao with his life on the line.
Fortunately, he gambled on everything to infer and got what he wanted.
“Du Peng, my general shall fight.” Qin Fen shouted in response to Brooks gambling everything. He flapped his godly and demonic wings, propelling his body to sweep towards the monster.
The eyes of the scythe Devil Marshal suddenly spun, its wings opened to the sides. Both arms instantly turned into blade whips and locked on to Qin Fen while the air transformed drastically in an instant.
Gravity! The hidden ability of the scythe Devil Marshal was to change the atmospheric pressure! Between masters, this ability could be game-changing at the right moment!
Qin Fen chuckled. Any little trick in front of God is useless! He put an arc around his body with his hands, his arms pulling inward like a net collecting fish in the water. It was firm and fierce and soft at the same time, realizing the essence of Wind with the Clouds.
At the moment of expansion, Qin Fen had understood too much. The Divine Boxing of the past was always focused on integrating the world’s martial dao into its own, creating a martial arts technique similar to the Martial Arts Handbook created by the martial arts masters; God is all-encompassing and therefore should accommodate everything.
This has always been the idea of Qin Fen, but at that moment, Qin Fen suddenly understood through Brooks’s inadvertent sentence.
Why does one need to integrate all martial daos together to form a new sect? If God can accommodate everything, then any martial dao could be Divine Boxing, wouldn’t that be the true meaning of Divine Boxing? Wasn’t stubborn integration one of the many pillars of Divine Boxing?
Thousands of days of study cultivated into this moment of enlightenment. Qin Fen’s boxing stance was wide and massive yet intricate; his arms as healthy and agile as a dragon. The way of Heaven was imbued in his moves, locking both scythe arms directly with his hands.
“Child’s tricks!”
Qin Fen’s style Wind with the Clouds broke the attack of the scythe beast. With a roar from his mouth and the straightening of his spine, Qin Fen’s fist landed a critical hit on the opponent’s head.
His comment sounded grand yet not violent. Men and beasts on the field could clearly hear the words ringing across with heavenly majesty.
This punch was also the strongest Investiture of the Gods made by Qin Fen. At this powerful moment, only the Investiture of the Gods could be a worthy tribute to Brooks.
Bang bang! Boom!
The scythe beast’s shoulders exploded twice, blowing off both of the whip-like arms and growing two human arms from the shoulders! This was its ultimate killer move!
However, it had no chance to ambush Qin Fen. As it felt the power of the Investiture of the Gods, it quickly readied its arms.
It originally intended to break off its scythe arm and ambush Qin Fen with its killer move as Qin Fen was focused on the scythe arm. However, it did not expect Qin Fen to break its move from the first shot, let alone expect Qin Fen to be able to produce a heavy shot that was as quick as lightning.
The eight eyes of the scythe beast were clear. Qin Fen’s fist shrouded and suppressed everything from top to bottom. The fist was huge and sturdy and three times bigger than the beast’s head, exuding the mastery of heavenly and earthly powers.
It was the most surprising for the scythe beast that Qin Fen’s shot had compressed the air around it, as if the gravitational force around it was strengthened by dozens of times!
The fist was as heavy as a mountain and as quick as lightning, as if the actions of the scythe beast were predicted. As it was unable to escape the amplified force, there is no other way but to take the punch head-on.
Aoooooo…
The scythe beast gave its all and lifted its arms to block the fiercest bombardment by Qin Fen.
When the arm collided with the fist, the scythe beast felt that it could no longer fly; its body fell to the ground at an alarming speed.
Rocks, mud, and dust rose to the sky.
The impact of the fist and the point of impact of the scythe beast had produced a sizeable crater. It laid on the center of the crater and realized that its arm that could easily tear apart metal warships was shattered!
There was not much time to think. The scythe beast’s abdomen burst; its whole body was smashed and turned into a pile of meat sauce in a matter of seconds.
“This…” Number One looked at the contents of the projection but still couldn’t believe what it saw. The Devil Marshal that was evaluated by Qilin to be able to go toe-on-toe with an apex level constellation warrior was killed by Qin Fen with just a punch? Was he really the top martial artist of the new generation just like he said?
