Amidst the blue sky and white clouds, a large armed helicopter was hovering. Its hatch opened as six young men jumped out from within without any para-jumping tools, one after another, falling at a very high speed. Their hair flew upward with the wind immediately. It seemed they were committing suicide.

The six men fell pretty fast until they reached a height of fifty meters from the ground, where they stopped in the air together suddenly. They were floating just like that, overlooking everyone below.

When the generals looked up, they couldn’t hide their surprise. One has to at least be in the fifteen-star level in order to hover in the air! What’s going on in the Golden Triangle today? How did it attract six martial dao masters all of a sudden? Judging by their appearances, they are all young. When did such a group of young experts appear in the Federation!?

Wait, wait! Several generals suddenly realized. They cast their disbelief gaze at the generals beside them to seek the answer as a name flashed in everyone’s mind: Qin Fen!

That’s right! They might be those youngsters who rose like a comet in the Federation half a year ago, and then disappeared like a meteor. Those youngsters who subdued the four families in a short time and killed the most powerful expert in the East Asia Military Region, then disappeared shortly after. They actually reappeared, and in the Golden Triangle no less!

More and more generals began to guess who these guests were. On Earth, no one had been in the limelight like these youngsters were in the past few years. They practically possessed the power of dukes of princes at their young age. More importantly, they continued doing a lot of shocking things with such unity that others couldn’t even imagine. In the eyes of many people, they had infinite future prospects.

The generals began to peek at the nearby Commander Xianglong, who could summon the winds and command the rain in the Golden Triangle all these years. The high and aloof Commander’s face was already devoid of the eager expression to take over; he was staring at the six in the sky with a very serious expression.

Nowadays, any one of these youngsters could not be looked down upon. And when they were gathered together, any forces in the world, apart from the divine beast martial artists’ forces, could afford to adopt an indifferent attitude towards them.

In the past two years, no other small group has risen in the world that could rival these youngsters. These youngsters only took two or so years to achieve today’s reputation and power.

Li Xianglong narrowed his eyes, looking at the Qin Fen floating in the air with the sun behind him. The dazzling sunlight couldn’t pose any harm to the Golden Triangle’s Commander. He looked at Qin Fen, narrowing his eyes because he wanted to examine this young man closely.

Li Xianglong was no longer sitting on that big office armchair which was symbolic for the big boss. He slowly got up and rose into the air, defying Earth’s gravity without any auxiliary equipment. And when he was floating on the same level as Qin Fen, he cupped his fist and said, “So it’s Master Qin who was in the limelight half a year ago.”

Qin Fen nodded his acknowledgment before asking back, “Elysium’s Arhat Xianglong!?”

A dumbfounded look immediately appeared on Li Xianglong’s face. Although this matter wasn’t kept a secret to the greatest degree, the people who knew about him in this world weren’t that many. Qin Fen actually knows about this. Moreover, there is a sense of provocation in his tone even when he knows about this. What does he want? He is not planning on challenging the entire Elysium, is he? These young people are indeed promising but they think they can challenge Elysium with their current strength? Are you kidding me? Elysium isn’t the split East Asia Military Region, nor is it like the Federation Army that lacks martial dao masters.

Although five of the eight heavenly immortals had died in the past six months, the current Elysium still had experts like the sky had clouds. Not to mention the fact that there was the high and mighty first expert of Elysium, the Jade Emperor, or the second expert, Tathagata, or Guanyin, Monkey King, Yang Jian, Nezha, and the others, all of whom were top-level martial artists.

Qin Fen, noticing the dumbfounded look on Li Xianglong, nodded as he pursed his lips into a smile. “So to say, is the Golden Triangle also a part of Elysium to some extent?”

Li Xianglong was stunned and nodded, once again. He directly cupped his fist and said, “Elysium’s Arhat Xianglong, the subordinate of Tathagata. I didn’t expect Master Qin’s investigation to be so thorough. But what’s your interest in our Elysium? If you want to join, I am willing to be your sponsor. If you want to challenge Elysium, I will still advise you to think more about it. Elysium is not like your previous opponents.”

After having finished speaking, Li Xianglong felt a bit of pride gushing into his heart. I spoke in correctitude, used both threats and bribery to make the best of it. At least at this moment, anyone with some brains would absolutely not…

“Golden Triangle belongs to Elysium!? Very good, very good… very, very good…” Qin Fen smiled as he clenched his fingers into fists. “You have two choices now: first, leave Elysium, second, get beaten to death here.”

“What!?”

Li Xianglong suspected that there was something was wrong with his ears. As soon as Qin Fen, who had not appeared in the past six months, appeared, he was acting in such a powerful and overbearing manner.

Silence. Li Xianglong looked at Qin Fen silently. My martial arts isn’t as strong as East Asia’s Zuo Dongting, I’m afraid I won’t be able to kill these people to defend my position in the Golden Triangle… but withdraw from Elysium!?

Li Xianglong smiled. I might not be able to defeat you but don’t think that I can’t escape! Wait till I am back at Saturn, I will gather many Elysium experts and kill all of you.

“Master Qin, are you also interested in the Golden Triangle? Unfortunately, I don’t have a final say on this position of the Commander…” Li Xianglong replied and looked at the people below, avoiding the important subject and dwelling on the trivialities. “If you want…”

BOOM!

The big office armchair placed at the center that was the symbol of Commander suddenly shattered into pieces. The generals looked at the legend of the Golden Triangle in amazement.

An Air Splitting Palm full of tyrannical aura not only smashed the armchair into pieces, a giant ridge had also appeared on the ground. Even the generals who were slightly closer were thrown off by the wind generated from the palm. Li Xianglong’s subordinate martial artists, who were standing behind the armchair, might have promptly crossed their hands before them, but their arms were still mutilated by that casual Air Splitting Palm nonetheless; their entire martial uniform was so tattered that it seemed to have been scratched by hundreds and thousands of cats.

Air Splitting Palm! A special martial art that only a martial dao master could use! In a flash, many generals understood one thing: this legend of the Golden Triangle was most likely a member of Qin Fen’s team.

After a half a second of silence, a general got up and waved his hand, again and again. “We don’t have any opinion as to who the Commander is, so please do as you wish.”

“Right, right, we also admire Master Qin very much. He is young and aggressive, I guess he can be a pretty good Commander.”

“I also think so.”

The generals sailed with the wind, flattering one after another. Everyone knew very clearly that no one could offend this legendary figure of the Golden Triangle’s life and death ring. According to his previous conduct, this man going all nuts might be the most terrifying thing. He may kill all the people here regardless of the consequences.

Li Xianglong furrowed his brow slightly. He had long known that these people were all unreliable but he hadn’t expected them to be this unreliable.

“Leave Elysium or be killed by me.”

When the final ultimatum rang into Li Xianglong’s ears, his furrowed brow twitched lightly once more. “Master Qin, you can’t go too far. I am agreeing to give up the Golden Triangle, isn’t that enough? Why must I withdraw from Elysium?”

“Very simply,” Qin Fen replied, calm and indifferent. “Because I want to kill Tathagata, so naturally, I must pluck off Elysium’s wings.”

“Kill Tathagata!?” Li Xianglong was terrified. “You want to kill Tathagata!?”

Qin Fen remained silent, whereas Solomon was hovering behind Qin Fen already, an excited itching-to-have-a-go expression written on his face. “If you refuse, I will kill you.”

Leave Elysium!? Li Xianglong was very clear that the matter would not rest by just saying that I, Li Xianglong am withdrawing from Elysium. Nine chances out of ten, Qin Fen would record and announce it to the world through the internet. At that time, the original expediency would become a fact.

And even if he explained to Elysium that it was just a strategy and even if Elysium accepted this answer, what would the martial artists in the world think?’

A martial artist who’s afraid to even fight. How would this affect the Elysium’s reputation? How will Elysium react to this effect?

“Sigh… since that’s the case…” Li Xianglong sighed. And the moment his expression dimmed, the strength of sixteen-star level erupted from his body suddenly as a pair of eagle wings made completely out of energy grew on his back. He turned around immediately after and flew at high speed.

A level-four biochemical beast fusion was completely energized! Li Xianglong was confident that his sixteen-star martial strength might not be the strongest in the world but he was definitely the fastest when it came to flying. After entering the level four fusion, this expensive falcon biochemical beast had a special ability apart from having a strong regeneration ability, and that was the ability to accelerate in flight.

Naturally, this kind of ability was generally useless but it was a superb ability when running away! Not to mention sixteen-star martial artists, even seventeen-star martial artists would not be able to catch him. Li Xianglong was also confident that no one could overtake him in this world when flying.

With an eagle cry, Li Xianglong had already flown a distance of hundred meters. He was so fast that he caused a swishing sound due to the air friction. Fast! Under a threat on his life, Li Xianglong flew at a speed that he had never shown before. Subconsciously, he turned his head back to look at Qin Fen and the others, a smile of triumph on his lips.

His smile froze in the next moment. Li Xianglong found that the Young Dragon King, Yang Lie was already three feet behind him with a pair of dragon wings spread out from his back! Those were rain dragon’s wings! A special image composed of pure energy!

Young Dragon King, Yang Lie also smiled. But his smile wasn’t directed at Li Xianglong but at the position in front of Li Xianglong.

Ahead!? Li Xianglong turned his head to look ahead as his frozen smile shattered and turned into a look of extreme shock in a flash.

Originally, there wasn’t supposed to be anything in the front. But much to his dismay, a man was standing there, with a pair of white and black wings, like that of an angel. They were obviously energy bodies, but they seemed to be as solid as a real physical object.

Qin Fen! How is this possible!? Li Xianglong was stunned. How did this guy overtake me?

“I will ask you last time.” Qin Fen stared at the dumbfounded Li Xianglong. “Leave or die.”

“Are you really going to go war with Elysium?” Li Xianglong’s eyes looked back and forth as he tried to think of some way to get out of this problem. “Are you planning on indiscriminately slaughtering the innocents just to fight Elysium?”

“Indiscriminately slaughter the innocents!?” Qin Fen smiled as he pointed at everyone below. “I’m going to kill all the people here one by one. Maybe one or two might die with injustice. But if I spare every other person, a lot of fish will escape from the net for sure! If drug dealers are innocent, then wouldn’t the corrupt officials in the world claim to be as clean as ice and as pure as jade!?”

“You!?” Suddenly, Li Xianglong took a deep breath violently as his muscles stiffened rapidly; his every muscle strand was as hard as steel. His skin glimmered with metallic brilliance. In the blink of an eye, his entire figure seemed to be cast from metal, turning into a metal body. His every strand of muscle let out metallic roars as if metal and metal were striking against each other. Even his eyeball began to turn metallic at this moment.

Neo martial art – Steel War Body! No! It was higher than Steel War Body, Diamond War Body!

As his muscles swelled, Li Xianglong’s chest rose suddenly as if his spine had been metalized. The sounds of metallic friction and collision rang from his body as if the bones growing in his body weren’t human bones but bones cast from metal completely.

I have to break through forcefully! The moment Li Xianglong sensed Qin Fen’s killing intent, he had made up his mind to break through forcefully! He had pinned his hopes on the bones that were like super steel at this moment, believing that his powerful defense may be able to block some attacks before he could successfully escape.

The Steel War Body was rumored to turn even the muscles and skin into metal when it was trained to the limit. But Diamond War Body can even turn the bone marrow into metal!

Li Xianglong’s skin quickly turned silvery-white and glimmered under the sunlight, which, when coupled with his towering and majestic body, steeled bones and ironed skin, gave everyone a special feeling. This guy wasn’t human but a robot made of pure metal!

In a flash, Li Xianglong unleashed a strength that he had never unleashed since he entered the Golden Triangle! He raised his hands and joined them together, the pure energy falcon wings on his back shook suddenly as he leaned forward slightly.

From gathering his strength to attacking, everything was completed in an instant. This was a huge advantage because of which many people say that the neo martial arts were better than paleo martial arts. They required almost no preparation time for even their strongest attack.

Just as he laid out this attack, shockwaves visible to the naked eyes appeared in the air. The powerful driving force gave Li Xianglong the impression that he was attacking on solid ground; the strength of his legs and waist was pushed to his back, and then transmitted to his arms. And finally, his conjoined palms seemed to be uttering chants like those in Buddhist hall, “Namo Amitabha!”

This was a move from the fitness exercise known as the Arhat Fists, the Arhat Worships Buddha!

The fist intent represented that when Arhat worshipped the Buddha, he dedicates his life and spirit to worship! Both hands joined together, offering everything, essence, energy, and spirit!

Li Xianglong’s praying palms and the Buddha’s fearless spirit to offer his body to the Eagle made him seemed taller suddenly. Only a real Buddha can bear the worship of the Arhat in this world. How could an ordinary person’s fate bear the worship of the Arhat?

Rumored had it that there was a time when ancient emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang, almost starved to death when he asked for a meal. It wasn’t because the people weren’t compassionate enough. Rather, every time someone gave him a meal, he would kneel down and give him a kowtow. But who in the world knew that he had an emperor’s fate!? He had the spirit of a true dragon emperor! Even though he was a beggar, his fate was there. The next day he worshipped, then he rode the crane to the west.

For a long time, everyone was afraid of being worshipped by him, and thus no one gave him food.

If an emperor worshipped like this, worshipped as a Buddhist arhat, how could ordinary people bear to live? Wouldn’t they be worshipped to death on the spot?

Li Xianglong unleashed the majestic spirit of the Arhat Worships Buddha to the extreme.

A Namo Amitabha and an Arhat Worships Buddha, even a true Arhat may have this demeanor, right?

The corner of Qin Fen’s eyes twitched and felt quite touched. When he debuted, he roamed around relying on the Arhat Fists. How could he have expected that he would actually meet someone else using the Arhat Fists here today?

At the sight of this scene, an urge to immediately go down their knees and worship rose in the hearts of the generals on the ground. The mortals of this world were unable to bear the worship of Gods, no matter what.

Qin Fen, looking at Li Xianglong’s mighty offense, remained still, unshaken. His one hand drew an arc as he gently pushed outward as if an elder caressing the junior or a gesture of response to others. This wasn’t Qin Fen’s Investiture of Gods from the Godly Fists, but Tathagata’s Divine Palm that he had once read in the Sacred Martial Hall. This was the eighth move of Tathagata’s Divine Palm, Thousand Buddha Comes Greets.

Arhat Worships Buddha!? Compared to your, Li Xianglong’s move, my, Qin Fen’s, Thousand Buddha Greets, let alone an insignificant Arhat worshipping me, even gods and buddhas would come to worship me, and I shall also do the same!

“Break.”

With heaven and earth-like humanity’s true energy, Qin Fen stood straight and brought his palm down on Li Xianglong’s head as he lightly uttered one word. That vast energy didn’t explode but rather suppressed the intense aura’s true energy. Its sound rang in everyone’s ear but it didn’t cover the surrounding noises, it was quite like Buddha’s silent momentum.

Pressed under the majestic aura of power of Thousand Buddha Greets, Li Xianglong felt an unparalleled power and pressure for the first time. His vast worshipping aura of power in his palm before this power was as weak as a mortal. By the time his strength had bloomed completely, before his aura of power could erupt, it was already crushed by this palm.

In Li Xianglong’s eyes, this palm wasn’t as fast as a lightning bolt, he could see it clearly. He could even see the change in the palm’s momentum. From top to bottom, all the moves that might have possibly appeared were clearly transmitted into his brain at this moment.

Qin Fen’s palm wasn’t big. His entire white jade hand looked like a Buddha hand-carved from expensive white jade. His five fingers were the size of a normal person’s hand, but they were displaying a terrifying power.

The thing that scared Li Xianglong the most was the moment Qin Fen made his move. His Diamond War Body collapsed automatically, as if the strongest mouse had suddenly seen a cat. Li Xianglong was unable to use half of his strength. I have encountered this feeling before, it seemed I felt this when I saw Guanyin and Tathagata.

There are actually other people in this world, apart from Guanyin and Tathagata, who can unleash such an attack momentum!? Furthermore, he is actually so young!?

A palm that had blotted the sky and the earth, a palm that could make thousand Buddhas come to greet, its tremendous pressure made Li Xianglong unable to avoid it. He knew that no matter what he did, he was unable to avoid it. There was no other way but to take it head-on.

Li Xianglong no longer thought about escaping; he forgot everything in the moment of life and death. He fiercely brought his joined palms down like the most sincere kowtow of an arhat.

The moment the Arhat Worships Buddha clashed with Thousand Buddha Greets, Li Xianglong felt Qin Fen’s strength erupt once again. Under the sudden immense pressure, he immediately lost control of his body as his body that was hovering in the sky fell down rapidly just like a bungee jumper jumping down while carrying a heavy piece of rock, like stones were tied all over his body and thrown into the water to drown.

BANG! BOOM!

The earth shook fiercely as sand and countless pieces of rocks flew into the sky. The generals of the Golden Triangle felt as if they would be flipped over by the earth. Each and every one of them stared at the endless cloud of dust and smoke in a daze.

In the deep pit, Li Xianglong’s entire body had gone numb, as if his metallic body had returned to an ordinary person’s body. He looked about while gasping for breaths. Much to his surprise, he was standing in the deep pit. What’s more, except for the part above his neck, the rest of the body was nailed into the earth.

Out of instincts of a martial artist, Li Xianglong tried exerting his strength in order to blast the earth enveloping him but the moment he mobilized his strength, he discovered that he had no control over his body at all. All the bones in his body were in excruciating pain; every piece of bone was broken into pieces. He was unable to move even a half-centimeter.

The level four biochemical beast was doing everything it could to heal his body but Li Xianglong discovered at the wound that had just regenerated would immediately be crushed by some power hidden in his body.

“Neo martial art!? Apart from Master, I finally found someone who could practice it to such a degree, but what a pity…”

Upon listening to Qin Fen’s words, Li Xianglong’s heart started pounding crazily as a gush of sudden piercing pain burst in his head. His eyes went wide as he shouted immediately, “You! Can’t defeat Tathagata! You will definitely die…”

BANG! Li Xianglong’s head exploded abruptly and so did his heart. Qin Fen’s true energy that had invaded his body finally erupted at this moment, sending the sixteen-star martial artist to the west immediately.

A punch… just a punch…

The generals of the Golden Triangle were dumbfounded. Is this the same insignificant soldier from the rumors, who had come to the Golden Triangle two years ago!? If I knew he would be so powerful two years later, I would have killed him for sure back then! The sixteen-star Commander Li Xianglong, who had super defensive capabilities, could not even take Qin Fen’s one punch! Furthermore, it’s quite evident that Qin Fen hasn’t even used his full strength!

He can kill a sixteen-star martial artist in one move without using his full strength!? Qin Fen, he disappeared six months back, what did he exactly do over these six months? Did he find Daode Tianjun’s immortal pill like in the legends? Half a year ago, it wasn’t difficult for him to defeat a sixteen-star martial artist, but even he couldn’t kill him in one move! How is this possible!?

“Long live Commander Qin Fen!”

“Yes! We elect Qin Fen as Commander!”

“That’s right! As long as Qin Fen is in command, our Golden Triangle would only flourish better and better!”

On the ground, the generals realized the situation at first notice, They immediately changed their positions, one after another.

Solomon, looking at everyone below with an itching-to-have-a-go expression on his face, said with a smile, “Qin Fen, what are you planning to do with the people below?”

“People below?” Qin Fen frowned as he looked at Solomon, puzzled. “I am only seeing a group of drug dealers who have killed and ruined countless families. They must be humanely eliminated, lest they bring harm to society.”

“It makes sense.” Yang Lie crossed his arms before his chest. “If the blood money in their hands was donated to the Federation, most of it will be taken by the corrupt officials. I think it will be better to take it and transfer it to Xing Wuyi.”

Yang Lie’s voice had yet to fall when Solomon’s Air Splitting Palm fell down like countless raindrops. Most of the generals, who were shouting, died in a flash. The surviving few were completely stunned. They couldn’t understand why this happened. Didn’t we choose to support you already?

The temple was a sacred place. The golden shinning temple was still sitting there. The golden Buddha in the temple watched the massacre taking place in the open space outside the temple, as well as the eclipsing cloud of smoke, with its eyes half-closed.

“Drugs might be difficult to eliminate.” Qin Fen looked messy slaughterhouse. “But this thing could make this place messy for a while at the very least, wouldn’t it? It’s not a problem to greatly reduced its production. Let’s go, let’s go to the North Pole. Give Xue Tian a call as well, tell him the holidays are over.”
