The Favored Son of Heaven

What is it like to see a living ghost?

A dead person had revived in front of everyone suddenly and was even jumping about lively. That could barely be regarded as seeing a living ghost.

What happens when one really sees a living ghost was that no one would be able to recognize the face of a clearly dead person who appeared again in front of everyone. Having an evil ghost-like appearance was what seeing a living ghost really meant.

The members of Elysium watched Lan Caihe stand upright, open his arms, and let out a roar unlike a human’s. Their whole body raised goosebumps layer after layer.

Lan Caihe’s death was real. This martial artist died despite Elysium’s expert martial artists and the most apex-level doctors’ rescue. This matter was not only known by the people of Saturn, but several other planets’ martial artist circles were well aware of it as well.

The fall of a powerful martial artist would surely shake the entire martial artists circle just like the time Bae Seong-Joon and Kyokushin Kouten died in Hallasan. It had also shaken the other planets’ martial artists circles, letting people know that the new generation of martial artists had begun to rise.

“Lan Caihe! It is Lord Lan Caihe! Oh God, am I seeing it correctly?”

“Am I seeing it wrong too? Oh God! There are too many unbelievable events happening today! If this is a nightmare, please let me wake up soon.”

“Yes! It is Lord Lan Caihe! I have been in close contact with Lord Lan Caihe! There was once when I was blocking his way and he kicked me so mercilessly that my two front teeth broke.”

The body muscles of Lan Caihe, who was in the ‘Pandora’s box’, were different from before. It was harder now but a little less lively. It carried a little of death’s stiffness. The ten fingers were twice as long as before. Rather than saying palms, it was more accurate to say ‘mutant creatures’ claws’.

The one-point-eight meter body was two point one meter tall now. He looked thin and tall, yet very powerful at the same time. His eyes carried a monstrous red light, his two canines looked more like an animal’s long canines now and the once fair skin had turned into dark brown. Pinkie-sized green veins tied under his skin like iron chains. Only from his facial contours could one recognize that he was the former Eight Immortals, Lan Caihe.

With the three consecutive roars, Lan Caihe seemed to be venting his dissatisfactions with being trapped. The faces of the Elysium martial artists who stood slightly closer were like a piece of gold paper. Their lips became white and oozed pungent bloodstains. They sat on the floor, unable to stand up anymore.

This was not a lion’s roar nor Buddha’s Heart chant with a sonic attack. It was just a simple roaring vent. Even the expressions of the fourteen-star class martial artist next to Lu Dongbin were extremely unpleasant while staring at the ‘monster’ in front of them carefully.

Lu Dongbin looked at the aggressive Lan Caihe and sighed. Maybe he really shouldn’t have undergone the final emergency surgery when his heart was blown up and died that day. Is Lan Caihe still considered a human now? Is he still that intimate comrade of the past?

Three roars and Lan Caihe slowly lowered his high head. The dozens of green veins popped out on his forehead like a dense spider web, it was so disgusting. The fierce red light first landed on Lu Dongbin.

Lu Dongbin’s skin reacted and he stared at Lan Caihe with a hint of vigilance. Lu Dongbin was wary as the information stated that Lan Caihe didn’t differentiate friends from foes and could attack at any time.

The eyes’ red glare gradually weakened and Lu Dongbin had a very strange feeling. The information said that it would kill anyone when it woke up without differentiating friends from foes. There was not much fury in his eyes, more of it was curiosity and doubts. There was even some sadness, as if Lu Dongbin’s hostility would upset Lan Caihe.

“Lan Caihe’s brain is dead. This is just his remaining strength made into a special monster with the bizarre biotechnology.”

Lu Dongbin kept warning himself to always keep a certain vigilance.

Woo… oh…

Lan Caihe made an unidentifiable sound that contained a low-lying sadness. Lan Caihe’s red eyes crossed Lu Dongbin and fell on He Xiangu.

No killing and no aggression. Lu Dongbin could even read a faint sign of gentle love, which was the look that Lan Caihe once had when he saw He Xiangu.

“This…what is this?” Lu Dongbin looked at Lan Caihe, puzzled, only to find that Lan Caihe had used that weird look to greet Han Zhongli and Tie Guaili. Plus, that pair of red eyes carried doubts. It looked at the direction of the four people’s vigilant eyes and immediately found Qin Fen.

In an instant! The soft gaze was gone and the red light of the violent anger was found in the eyes that couldn’t be considered as actual eyes.

Qin Fen walked slowly and made a shuffling sound against the rotten leaves. He stared up at Lan Caihe and frowned slightly while talking to himself, “It seems that there is self-awareness, but also seems as if there is no self-awareness. It seems that it is able to distinguish between friends and foe and will not attack anyone it sees immediately. According to the answer given by Lin Liqiang, he should have the intelligence of a wolf-dog. He has much less self-awareness compared to Hades but it is much better than the average insect warriors…”

Lan Caihe watched Qin Fen approach step by step and stepped into the territory of his instinctive consciousness. In fact, it was the scope of its attack. Lan Caihe made a deafening roar. The two slender and strong thighs turned the metal ‘Pandora’s Box’ into a pile of scrap iron immediately with a push on the ground and immersed deeply in decaying foliage and dark yellow soil. The violent recoil made the smashed ground form a rotten vortex shape.

All of sudden, Lan Caihe launched an attack instinctively. His two long arms unfolded like the rumored Dapeng divine bird. The slender and sharp claws flew up and down, creating the sound of a ghost’s scream and brought down layers of wind and shadow. The entire land seemed to be completely obscured by these two long arms.

Lu Dongbinfelt pressure on his chest. Eighteen-star class! The seventeen-star Lan Caihe, who was killed by a gun, undergone surgery, and became a monster, actually possessed the strength of eighteen-star class now. It gave out extraordinary power with just a shot. Even experts like Chen Ni could only temporarily retire to avoid his madness when facing him! That’s right, it’s madness, not sharpness!

He’s nearly lost all logical reasonings and eliminated everything that feared pain and death. He launched an attack relying entirely on the instinct of the beast. The aura of power released was not just unstoppable and invincible, the madness aura was identical to one of a madman!

The street gangsters dared to bully the good civilians who were taller and bulkier than them, but they do not dare to provoke a madman who is shorter and thinner than them. The same principle applied here: in this world, madmen were always more frightening than normal people!

Lan Caihe’s instinctive shot was more ferocious than when he was awake; the huge palm nearly covered the sky and earth.

Just for a moment, Lan Caihe blasted out all of his power. The insect warrior’s body seemed to be different from a normal martial artist’s body because it was completely unnecessary for the insect warrior’s body to have certain gathering time to accumulate the aura shield. The moment he attacked was the moment he used his most powerful strength. In the eyes of such a master, the distance between the two opponents made no difference.

His foot slammed into the ground and his body whizzed with high speed in the air. Then, he pounced vigorously into the front of Qin Fen. His unfolded arms on both sides of his body converged suddenly and released a claw. It attacked Qin Fen like heavy rain.

It was the Sealed Hands of the Coagulation Divine Claws secret art!

Lan Caihe approached Qin Fen in an instant. The Coagulation Divine Claws, which should have been bloody red, was extraordinarily dark black. A series of squeaking and buzzing sounds as though thousands of Suona played throughout the battlefield at the same time.

Lu Dongbin did not need to look at other people. His hands turned over and the two long swords behind him made a clunking sound when he drew them out from their sheaths. It turned into two rainbows in the sky that intertwined and rolled over as if attempting to smash the space to pieces. It followed Lan Caihe closely towards Qin Fen.

Neo martial art: Magnetic Flying Sword! The same Magnetic Flying Sword, but Lu Dongbin’s pair of flying swords could almost be called the first flying swords in the world because of Lu Dongbin’s powerful strength. Any cosmo battleship in front of him was fragile as a worm. Wherever the flying sword goes, they were invincible.

Elysium only needed a Lu Dongbin to make all the Federation’s cosmic battleships stay away.

If Chen Ni couldn’t defeat Qin Fen, who wore his mobile armor, then Lan Caihe definitely could not defeat Qin Fen when he takes off his Jungle Ranger! Even if he is also an eighteen-star class! Even if he had a crazy fighting desire, was not afraid of life and death, Lu Dongbin knew that Lan Caihe was definitely not an opponent of Qin Fen!

It was a kind of martial artists’ instinct after killing on the line of life and death for a long time. He Xiangu had already applied the lotus step and rushed from the side. Han Zhongli did not move slowly with the obese body but instead, his body flew like a ball and bounced, the giant cattail leaf fan made of tungsten steel in his hands rotated continuously to form a huge mixer. The other arm’s obese muscles became firmer and stronger suddenly and the degree of sturdiness clearly exceeded Qin Fen’s thigh. The strong Qin Fen looked so thin and weak in front of this arm.

Tie Guaili’s body was high on one side and low on the other, he walked like he was limping but his speed was indeed the fastest among the three. The pace of this limping man looked more like he had climbed over towering mountains in an instant and his body was high and low due to the difference of the terrain.

Five masters: four powerful seventeen-star class martial artists and one insect warrior whose mind wasn’t completely clear but violently powerful. Claws force, limping power, flying swords, fist energy, and arm pressure!

Everywhere around Qin Fen’s body, whether in the sky or underground, left or right, he was completely caught in the intensive and violent position. The air pressure was suppressed by the martial strength of these people, which made this small place’s gravity change instantly!

The rotten leaves seem to be crushed by a huge and complete iron plate. The rotten leaves in the radius of fifteen meters around Qin Fen collectively sank half a feet all of the sudden and dark liquids were squeezed out from the leaves.
