Chapter 541: Hope, Mystery, Ensemble of Heroes

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Du Zhanpeng held Du Peng in his hands and stared at the “monster” that most people did not know the background of in the air of sadness with a chilly murder killing intent.

Caesar looked at Du Zhanpeng’s desolate back and suddenly thought of a famous poet’s poem in the past: “The furthest distance in the world is not between life and death but when I stand in front of you, yet you don’t know that I love you.”

“It turns out that the furthest distance in the world is life and death…” Caesar looked at Du Zhanpeng silently, “Only those who have really experienced life and death know how far the distance between life and death is. Du Zhanpeng is clearly holding Du Peng but his younger brother will never know. Both of them are so close but they are far apart from each other in the world. It is the distance between life and death.”

Lu Dongbin looked at the monster in front of him, his brain full of doubts. Where did the monster come from? It was obviously not human, and its power released just now was very similar to the martial dao’s true energy!

He Xiangu stared vigilantly at the monster who spoke human language. It is clear that this thing is completely different from Lan Caihe. Why I always have this inexplicable feeling, as if they are the same kind of thing…

Whimper…

Lan Caihe, whose head was buried in the soil, suddenly straightened his waist and looked at the humanoid monster. There was a faint delight in his eyes. He changed his expression from emotionless to emotional. He had strong emotions in his eyes, as if he saw his loved ones.

Lan Caihe walked carefully toward the monster. His waist was slightly bent, as if going on a pilgrimage.

The monster turned to look at Lan Caihe. Its dark eyes were filled with contempt, “Imitate? Go back… with… me”

“Go back with you?”

The Jungle Ranger armors neatly opened. A row of middle-aged people who were less than forty years old got out of it. Everyone’s strength was beyond the realm of martial dao master. It was the first time Qin Fen saw this many powerhouses with such strength outside of Elysium and Inferno since he came out.

Lu Dongbin looked, astonished, at Du Zhanpeng and his group. They are so powerful, where are they from? What are they doing here? Could it be said that there is a new power that’s going to rise to compete for the divine beasts martial artist title in Saturn besides Qin Fen?

“No!” Lu Dongbin blinked repeatedly. He then recognized one person in the crowd, “This is the martial artist from Jupiter! That’s right! This person who followed Azure Dragon that year. They competed with Elysium and Inferno for the Jupiter divine beasts martial artist title! Why did they come here? No wonder they came here so secretly. According to the divine beasts martial artist rules, they cannot send forces into the planet without the beast if there is no special situation. Did they come for this monster? Do they know the origin of this monster? ”

“I say, are you dreaming? You can’t even go back yourself, you can only hide here to build up your strength. You still want to go back?”

“You… cannot… stop me.”

The monster’s black glass-like eyeball swept across everyone and the slender fingers swung from side to side. The action was again close to what humans do.

He Xiangu’s heart welled up with doubts. She whispered to Lu Dongbin beside her, “Where is this monster from? Is it an insect warrior? The more advanced one?”

Lu Dongbin couldn’t answer and shook his head repeatedly. This thing had a similar charm to Lan Caihe, but the difference in appearances was really too different.

“I… Natan…I’m not a monster…” The monster looked at He Xiangu, and the black inkstone-like eyes gleamed with an unusual ray of light. As a beautiful woman for years, He Xiangu could see what it meant. It was mating! A naked sexual desire!

He Xiangu did not expect that this monster would have such thought.

“It’s not an insect warrior. Aren’t many scientists now studying the origin of mutant creatures? If you catch it, you can immediately know by forcing it to confess…”

“Chen Zhi, you talk too much.” Du Zhanpeng said coldly, interrupting everyone from approaching the truth on why mutant creatures appeared in the world.

“Oh, Captain Zhanpeng, I will stop talking. I just thought that Qin Fen may have a chance to become a divine beast in the future, so in advance…”

“Qin Fen?” Du Zhanpeng glance at Qin Fen with the corner of his eye, “He is not Qin Zhan!”

Qin Zhan! Qin Fen’s body suddenly trembled as he never thought of hearing about Qin Zhan in this situation! Du Zhanpeng knows Qin Zhan?

Lu Dongbin’s body also suddenly shook. Qin Zhan? The one who kicked Elysium and Inferno out of Jupiter? Sure enough, these people really…

Qin Fen looked over Du Zhanpeng and the man named Chen Zhi, but saw that Chen Zhi had shut his mouth and stopped talking.

“Kill…” The monster, who claimed itself as Natan, pointed to everyone, “I will…get stronger…go back.”

“Kill?” Du Zhanpeng walked slowly toward it, “If you did not set up a bureau here, the Elysium and Inferno would not have come. My brother would not have died if they didn’t come here. Everything that happened today is because of you. Do you think you still can leave?”

Killing aura instantly filled the entire battlefield. Du Zhanpeng’s eighteen-star strength was surging. The Humanity Aura Shield changed unconsciously. Qin Fen knew that it was a transformation. Du Peng possessed a very important position in Du Zhanpeng’s heart. Even Du Zhanpeng’s martial dao was defending martial dao — the martial dao that existed in order to defend his brother! Du Zhanpeng’s martial dao might collapse over time due to Du Peng’s death.

However, this monster appeared. Du Zhanpeng’s martial dao and aura shield unconsciously reached an extreme fusion the moment he gathered all the anger of Du Peng’s death onto the monster.

This was not about instant rehabilitation, nor a small universe eruption, but an important part that came naturally after he succeeded. The part that Du Zhanpeng had never been able to complete rapidly transformed under the death of Du Peng. Perhaps it would take a few days in the future for the transformation from the Humanity Aura Shield to the Ground Aura Shield to be fully completed, but such a change would immediately and highly increase his combat power.

The big tail at the back of the monster, Natan, was swaying easily. Its black eyes looked at Du Zhanpeng, puzzled. Why does this opponent, who wants to battle, have a dead body with him? Does he also need to feed on people to improve himself quickly?

The monster, Natan, was still thinking while Du Zhanpeng walked in front of it and looked up at its weird head.

The monster Natan was taller than Du Zhanpeng, but its eyes were much smaller than Du Zhanpeng. The pair of small eyes were quietly looking at Du Zhanpeng’s eyes.

The monster Natan did not like this feeling. How dare a human look at it like this? It actually had a very uncomfortable feeling as they looked at each other. It reminded it of the feeling it had when it faced the monster last time and almost died. The monster was one of the most powerful human beings.

Lu Dongbin gave He Xiangu a glance and both of them drifted out all the remaining force in their body at the same time. The intuition of hundreds of battles told them that this monster was very strong! Lan Caihe could not even withstand a single blow in front of it!

It was something that was called “monster” and could make God of Night panic. Its power couldn’t be imagined! Everyone had known that it only retreated when facing Qin Fen. It did not lose its mind and flee like a stray dog as it did just now.

Almost every martial dao master would have a steel-like will. The strength of this monster could be imagined as it could scare God of Night to the point of retreat.

The monster Natan quailed at Du Zhanpeng’s gaze and made a high-pitched scream through its throat. The whole body seemed to become a fierce mutant creature. Its big tail slammed the ground and raised a layer of dust. A deep crack was left on the ground. Its right arm slightly lifted over the shoulder with the knee of its right leg suddenly lifting at the same time, violently hitting Du Zhanpeng’s head.

It is using martial dao fighting skills! Not a beast’s fight! Lu Dongbin showed a little surprise in his eyes. This monster actually used martial dao’s combat skills instead of the beast’s bite.

The shot using a lifted knee was like a huge hammer coming from the bottom up, hitting toward them. The violent aura of power seemed to blow the two brothers of the Du Family to the sky. The strength of the knee assisted by the legs, waist, and tail was firm and powerful!

Du Zhanpeng acted as if he did not see this fierce shot, a gentleman’s cold expression hung on his face. His body bowed slightly forward, like a gentleman who wanted to invite ladies to dance. His elbow rotated in circles dozens of times and hit strongly on its knee.

Boom!

The monster Natan’s knee spewed out bright red blood the moment when the collision of muscles and bones sounded, followed by a series of ‘chi chi’ sounds breaking through the air. A pathetic scream came out of its throat. Its tail as the third leg became the support point in helping it stand. The knee of the other leg swept across and tried to take advantage of Du Zhanpeng who was at a disadvantage with only one arm.

“Today, I have to chop you down.”

When Du Zhanpeng’s words reached Natan’s ears, the elbow of his right arm that went down slightly lifted. The knife hand strike stabbed to the side of the other knee. The sharp aura that could break the air roared repeatedly. People knew that the body would become two without really being attacked by him.

Natan’s tail turned and slammed to the back. Its body quickly withdrew and its black small eyes looked at Du Zhanpeng dumbfounded. “It’s…you?”

“I want to chop you down.”

Du Zhanpeng did not answer the words of the monster. He took a step out and his palm made the simplest chop from top to bottom, below his waist, it was like he was riding on a horse. His arm swayed and made a “whoosh” sound, as if a huge electric fan. His arm was more like a huge battle ax in the eyes of everyone!

“This is…”

The martial artist who took off Jungle Ranger didn’t have time to say anything, the monster Natan screamed. Natan’s left hand with claws that could easily break steel sabers and had dismembered God of Night’s arm, was weak like tofu under Du Zhanpeng’s blow. It could not stop his attack at all.

“Captain Zhanpeng blends part of the ancient ax ultimate skill of the Big Bro Zhan!”

The new ultimate skill was blended with part of the advantages of Qin Zhan’s ancient ax and the Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Cleaving Cavalry as its base. The moment the matchless power broke out, half of Natan’s shoulder was slashed.

“You… had once chopped… Naka…”

The words of the monster Natan sounded incomparably surprised. The big tail turned as his legs reached out. It ran crookedly with one hand, grabbing toward Caesar who was in his way of escape.

The earth suddenly trembled and the monster Natan was suddenly dazzled. It believed that the most incompetent human being was the young man with the pale face standing in front of Caesar. His left hand with five fingers spread as if could emit sunlight, grabbing and forcibly withstanding the claws that should’ve torn Caesar apart.

“I will not let any of my friends get hurt or die.”

The voice of self-blame reached Natan’s ear. It was like a bolt from the blue. It found that its palm was caught by someone and could not break free. The claws that could normally easily tear people into pieces had no effect at all on this person’s body. Besides the squeaking sound made between the claws, nothing happened.

“I said I want to chop you down…” The cold ruthless voice filled with murder intent sounded. The monster Natan felt that its tail had been grabbed and it could feel a piercing pain as it struggled to run.

Qin Fen threw the monster in front of Du Zhanpeng with a fling. He caught Caesar’s arm with a backhand and stepped back to the sides of several martial dao masters.

Du Zhanpeng was like a ghost on the battlefield. He appeared on the monster Natan’s escape route in only a moment. His arm would never immediately chop Natan’s head. He always picked up some other part of the monster Natan’s body, as if the scream of that voice could soothe the grief of losing his brother.

“Want to know everything?” Chen Zhi, who was asked to stop talking by Du Zhanpeng, stood beside Qin Fen and lowered his voice. He stared at the battlefield and said slowly, “Go ask the founder of the Founding Society .”

Qin Fen turned to look at Chen Zhi and found that this martial artist who apparently cultivated the Vajra Protection Art had already returned to the position he had stood before. His ear still echoed the last sentence Chen Zhi said before he left, “The Ensemble of Heroes will be held soon. Go and prepare for it.”

The founder of the Founding Society? Qin Fen looked at Chen Zhi doubtfully but couldn’t get any response from the martial dao master, as if he had never spoken.

“I can only tell you that mutant creatures did not appear out of thin air.”

Chen Zhi opened his mouth and did not make any sound. It was a lip language. Qin Fen wondered how this martial dao master knew that he could read lip language.

“Qin Zhan is my brother, do you know the whereabouts of my brother?”

Qin Fen opened his mouth and made no sound. He only saw the corner of Chen Zhi’s lips lifted with a faint smile of telling him, ‘I certainly know, but I won’t tell you’.

Qin Fen could not help but look at Chen Zhi’s expression. Qin Fen could torture Chen Zhi if he was an enemy, but his person obviously had a relationship with his brother. He might be his elder in a sense. Qin Feng could not be rough on the elder no matter how bad he wanted to know the whereabouts of his brother.

“My brother is Azure Dragon?”

Chen Zhi’s eyes flashed with a little bit of surprise, and then gleamed with a faint appreciation. The faint smile of telling “I just don’t want to tell you” at the corner of the lips was more obvious.

“This…” Lu Dongbin whispered beside Qin Fen, “Qin Fen, you may not know. Lan Caihe is a failed product.”

“A failure?”

“A failure.” He Xiangu went on to say, “The Founding Society will say that it was theoretically a real success; the real powerful martial artist should not be much different from the original. There is no difference even in appearance, all the memories and wisdom are retained. In a sense, it could be said that he is not dead. It’s just that the physiological structure had changed dramatically.”

“You want to say…” Qin Fen’s eyes glanced through the battlefield. Du Zhanpeng who was on the battlefield suddenly turned and looked at He Xiangu. The ancient ax in his hand directly smashed the monster in half. He turned his ankle and dashed to the front of He Xiangu.
