Chapter 535: A Sigh and Everything Goes Silent!

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Come at me together!

The same sentence was heard several times in a row. But no one was fed up or was disdainful towards his arrogance, not in the least. Every time they heard Qin Fen speak this sentence, they found Qin Fen stronger than before. It was like a magic spell; every time he spoke this sentence, it would make him stronger.

Just as Qin Fen’s voice fell, that calmly standing body straightened up suddenly, lifting his chin slightly. Under the combined pressure of six opponents, the Earth Aura Shield of the eighteen-star level truly erupted for the first time. An imposing aura of invincibility radiated from his body, like he was invincible in the world; he held the stance of ‘if I can’t do it, then who can?’

The majestic net of the soaring aura of power formed from the merging of the aurae from the power of the six experts took a violent blow suddenly. The surrounding trees rustled non-stop; the leaves were shaken off the branches. The entire net of aurae of power shook continuously as if there was a world-extinguishing demon dragon that wanted to break through the layers of restrictions and release its world-destroying power.

Blood trickled down from the corner of Lu Dongbin’s eyes from staring as he said, “Do it!”

This roar was like the Buddha’s Vajra Sutra, strengthening the merged aura of power of six experts in the blink of an eye so that the aura of power that was on the verge of collapsing stabilized, grabbing ahold of this hard-won upper hand, never letting it go!

The heaven-shaking roar was like that of an ancient devil. The six experts turned into six phantoms before Du Peng’s eyes, sweeping away the world destructive aura of power as they attacked Qin Fen.

The aura of power of six people was already pushed to the extreme. It could be said that there was no room for it to climb anymore. Qin Fen was clearly aware of this and so were the six experts. They wanted to use their aurae of power to suppress Qin Fen completely and then make their move. But they never expected the aura of power released by Qin Fen to be so shocking. Just one burst of his aura of power destroyed the situation created by the six people.

In a flash, everyone came to know that it was impossible for them to suppress Qin Fen completely! If they continued to resist Qin Fen’s swelling aura of power, they would ultimately be smashed by Qin Fen. At that point, everyone would really be disgraced, saving Qin Fen the trouble of even making a move. Everyone’s will to fight would collapse with the collapse of their aurae of power. What else could they fight with then?

Whether it was Lu Dongbin or King Taishan, both had no choice but to admit that the Qin Fen in the natural cemetery absolutely could not be compared to the Qin Fen from the rumors six-month ago. His strength had already reached such a point that it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as inconceivable. Since his strength had reached this level at a young age, the two martial believed that he would become a divine beast martial artist in the future for sure.

The six experts acted at the same time. Their powerful aura energy pushed the soil back; in the blink of an eye, the subsequent impact force spread along the ground in every direction. Everything within a range of two hundred meters around their feet was pushed away. Having trained their footing for so many years, their feet would not slide even during an earthquake. But the impact from the recoil caused by the six experts making their moves at the same time quaked everyone and everything. Even Du Peng on the side screamed in his heart, “This shockwave was too strong!” It actually uprooted the trees everywhere, sending them into the air. Immediately, there was a smell of fresh soil in the air as if a giant devil was about to crawl out from the ground.

The ground shook and bounced. In response, Qin Fen loosened his shoulders and sunk his hips, drew in his chest, and straightened his back, squatting down. His pair of hands took the stance of Playing Pipa from the Twenty-Four Simplified Tai Chi Fists. More importantly, he raised his back feet that was supporting his body and stamped on the ground!

BOOM!

It was as if an ancient war drum of heavenly demons was hit under Qin Fen’s feet. That shaking and bouncing ground returned to peace suddenly, as if the quaking and bouncing had never happened, as if the giant devil that was about to break away from the seal was sealed again by the boundless magic force released by this stamp, sealing that powerful giant devil away once again.

Du Peng’s pupils fiercely contracted rapidly. As the only martial dao master not partaking in the fight, and as a long-time friend of Qin Fen, he knew what this stamp represented.

Qin Fen’s stamp had always been loud and violent, it was very normal for the ground the quake and bounce. But to his surprise, Qin Fen’s today’s stamp forcefully suppressed the earth-shaking force. Only a hole of a diameter of less than half a meter had appeared under his foot! It was because just a moment ago, Qin Fen had drawn all the quaking force to his feet and guided them into the ground, which had created such a hole.

Qin Fen’s entire figure had transformed with this stomp. From top to bottom, his entire body was shining brightly, as if a realm Jade Buddha had descended from the sky. His aura of power soared fiercely once more, as if it wanted to pierce through the sky.

Suddenly, the world returned to an unprecedented silence after that loud stomp.

Meanwhile, Qin Fen’s figure had already disappeared from his original position. He had launched an attack after having transformed the recoil into the Dragon Cannon and mixing the earth-shattering might into it.

The aura of power of six experts shook fiercely instantly as an inexplicable uncomfortable feeling rose in each and everyone’s chest, one after another. They could not help but wonder what exactly Qin Fen had been doing over these six months. How did he become so ridiculously strong?

The six experts weren’t fledglings. Although they were joining hands for the first time, they understood one thing clearly because of their status of super-level experts: no matter how powerful Qin Fen was, they absolutely could not retreat at this point! If any one of them retreated, it would result in immeasurable consequences. Everyone must maintain an absolute-level of coordination; they must stabilize their martial arts will. Shower him with volleys of attack so that they could strangle this monster who could pose a threat to Elysium and Inferno in the future right here in the natural cemetery.

The moment Qin Fen made his move, he raised his eyes and looked at the oncoming crazy Lan Caihe; a slight approval emerged in his eyes…

The bloodthirsty and murderous gaze of Insect Warrior Lan Caihe suddenly changed, replaced with a panic-stricken look. His charging figure suddenly came to stop as he turned tail and escaped…

Escaped! No one had thought that the Insect Warrior Lan Caihe, who had lost normal reasoning, would choose to flee at this moment!

Lu Dongbin was the one that was most unable to accept this fact. The information he got clearly stated that the insect warrior had no fear of life and death or injuries for that matter. They fought in a completely reckless manner, throwing every caution into the wind. When Nezha tried to subdue him, he had to scrap Lan Caihe’s hands and feet, and yet he was unable to make Lan Caihe back away.

He should have an emotionless killing machine; a warrior that would never back down. However, Lan Caihe was terrified; it was an instinctive fear.

If Lan Caihe was still a normal super-level martial artist, he would not have retreated. Even if he was afraid of Qin Fen, he still would not have retreated. As a human, he had the responsibility to protect his companions.

However, today’s Lan Caihe wasn’t the same as Lan Caihe from back then. He was an insect warrior. A creature that relied on instinct to fight. It may indeed have no fear of life and death but there was a basic fear ingrained in any beast’s instinct.

If Lan Caihe was devoid of any reasoning whatsoever, he would turn into an insect warrior that couldn’t tell enemy from foe. It would not escape in fear in the face of Qin Fen. But it still had a little tiny bit of wisdom. And it was because of this itsy-bitsy wisdom that it retreated.

Before that earth-shattering aura of power of Qin Fen, it instinctively discovered that it didn’t even have the qualifications to be the lamb that was about to be slaughtered; it would be mercilessly crushed into nothing in the blink of an eye. So, it retreated!

Lu Dongbin, realizing that the nearby Lan Caihe retreated, immediately sent curses to eighteen generations of that mysterious founder of the Founding Society who believed themselves to be at the top of the world. What a f***ing mess of insect warrior is this?

Is this what you call the most outstanding killing machine in the world? It’s nothing more than a conman selling mystical pills in Jianghu! If I return alive, I will definitely ask Jade Emperor to act and destroy this Founding Society first! Elysium paid a lot of money, and they gave us this defective product!

Lu Dongbin started cursing in his heart but his strength did not weaken in fury, rather his aura of power surprisingly skyrocketed because he was cursing the Founding Society, which seemed like a dark organization.

The remaining four experts and Lu Dongbin still maintained a strong aura of power. In the blink of an eye, they readjusted their combination of attacks to make up for the crack caused by Lan Caihe’s retreat.

Qin Fen, looking at the retreating Lan Caihe, immediately halted his attack and no longer attacked. Next, he heaved a slight sigh towards the sky.

Sigh.

This faint sigh sounded even more inexplicably depressing than that one sigh before. The feeling of loneliness enveloped the entire battlefield. Many Elysium and Inferno martial artists felt an inexplicable sense of loss. Why they were depressed, they weren’t able to tell completely.

The five experts were shaken up. This sigh was more powerful than the six true words in Buddhism, om mani padme hum, or the nine symbolic cuts of ninjutsu found on the back streets. The heaven and earth seemed to have sunk into an incomparable silence with this sigh. Everyone’s aura of power seemed to be on the verge of collapsing.

Qin Fen no longer took the initiative to attack. Just now, the battle intent and aura of power of the six people had finally ignited his ambition to fight. That was the only reason he actively released his power in response to the six experts. But who would have thought that just as he made his move — but still had not truly made his move — with just one stomp and one glance, would make the insect warrior Lan Caihe, who shouldn’t, and was most unlikely to retreat, retreat?

With one of the six experts leaving, furthermore, turning tail just because of a mere glance, Qin Fen felt an inexplicable sense of loss. A sigh of emotions escaped him instantly. All those birds that had flown away due to the previous shock, returned to the tree branches that they had inhabited before with this sigh, like a baby listening to a lullaby.

Qin Fen didn’t actively attack. He just stood on his spot to respond to battle. The re-coordination of the five experts was no longer hurried. They exchanged glances with each other in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint and immediately readjusted their respective positions.

Suddenly, the five experts finally appeared beside Qin Fen!
