The Favored Son of Heaven

It was a very remarkable thing but the casual command with his calm tone and indifferent attitude stunned Saturn’s military base soldiers. They even suspected that their ears had a problem or that they were simply dreaming.

An unwritten rule of the Federation was that almost all of the Federation’s lieutenant generals must enter the realm of a martial dao master in order to be promoted, except for some soldiers who had made special contributions to the Federation. Otherwise, almost no one could break this rule.

As the general commander and lieutenant general on Saturn, the worst strength was fifteen-star class! The soldiers couldn’t understand. Even if this lieutenant colonel had a fifteen-star class martial dao master by his side, this behavior is too arrogant.

This is Saturn. Saturn’s supreme commander, Lieutenant General Solov, did not have the strength of fifteen-star class but the strength of sixteen-star class! Such behavior and method of doing things really offended the superior’s authority. Even if Lieutenant General Solov killed them all, Earth’s headquarters could not say anything.

“Can you be quiet for a moment?”

Solov smirked coldly and the beard twitched with the muscles on his face. The true energy of the sixteen-star class expanded quickly. In an instant, a whirlwind airflow field was formed with him as the center and the wind made everyone quickly covered their eyes with their hands.

The unhindered Saturn general unleashed his entire true energy power in this underground base. He wanted these young newcomers to know who the true King of Saturn was!

Solomon smiled excitedly with his arms wide open like a big eagle soaring towards Solov. The entire underground base seemed to be under his arms at this moment and the bright hall suddenly darkened. It was like a large white cloud in the sky floated here on a sunny day and completely covered the huge sun in the sky. Thus, the sky and earth became dark and plain suddenly.

Solov’s mouth which revealed a sneer became bigger suddenly and his eyes showed signs of astonishment. Who is this young man in front of him? Is he actually a seventeen-star class?

Fast! Solov had never seen such a fast speed and he couldn’t even manage to push the woman next to him aside. He didn’t even had the time to counterattack and the legs that had been lifted in a hurry was turned and punched on the knees by this young man who rushed over. The aggressive attack could make someone severely hurt and broke the armored knee easily. It made a loud cracking sound and the intense pain was instantly transmitted to the brain.

One hand was struck Solov’s throat under his gaze and the powerful impact made him felt like he was hit by a heavy truck. His legs went straight off the ground and his body flew backward abruptly following the impact of the palm on his neck. Finally, he slammed hard onto the wall behind him.

Bang! A sound that resembled the explosion of a huge bomb roared in the sealed space. People were startled to see that Lieutenant General Solov had used his protective true energy and his sturdy body to make a nearly one-meter deep hole on the wall behind him. He was completely trapped in the hole filled with smoke and dust.Read more chapter on vipnovel

The extraordinarily quiet young man who stood behind Lieutenant Colonel Qin Fen had his hands stuck in Lieutenant General Solov’s throat at this moment. He pressed him rigidly into the hole. This powerful mean was just one attack but it gave the sixteen-star class lieutenant general no power to have any counterattack.

The soldiers looked at each other and wanted to find out the answer from the other’s eyes. Who are these young people who came to Saturn out of nowhere? The young man with the big blade in his hand, who directly used a martial dao master’s strength, is amazing enough. This young man even made a direct blow that made Lieutenant General Solov temporarily silent without any power to counterattack.

The women sat on the ground in horror and witnessed the scene in front of their eyes. Is this still the invincible Lieutenant General Solov? He completely lost the ability to counterattack just after one hit.

Qin Fen got up slowly without even looking at Solov. He grabbed onto the sides of the gap made by Xue Tian and dragged the thick iron wall outward.

The soldiers were puzzled watching Qin Fen’s actions. What is this young man trying to do? He’s not a fool, right? Even if a martial dao master could blast open the iron wall with a fist, it is absolutely impossible to use brute force to drag it open!

That’s right, absolutely impossible! The soldiers were very confident as there was not only one pushrod behind the iron wall. Even ten elephants wouldn’t want to drag this solid iron wall.

Creak… creak…

The sound of metal rubbed against the ground and the walls sounded slowly in the quiet hall. The wall paint slowly peeled off, drifting to the ground due to the vibration. The soldiers were stunned and watched a reality that they would have never even imagined in their dreams. This well built young man is a human-shaped tyrannosaurus! The iron wall was dismantled just by using pure brute force. If he did not want to be a soldier one day, he could be a stair demolition worker. He was a human body demolition device.

Thump!

The metal wall and the ground made a shocking impact roar, revealing dozens of large iron boxes placed in this special room.

Xue Tian’s previous sword aura attack did not damage the iron box placed on either side after cutting the wall but printed the sword aura deep in the wall of the house.

Solov’s eyes widened and looked at Qin Fen who walked into the room slowly. Solov attempted to lift up his two hands to stop it, but the hand at Solov’s throat suddenly increased its pressure to give a warning: raise your arms another inch, and I’ll break your neck!

Solov looked at the arm that belonged to Solomon and his heart trembled a little. What kind of eyes does this young man have? Why are his eyes full of expectations? Is it waiting for me to continue to resist without heeding his warning? Does he really want to kill me? Does he know who I am?

Solov coughed twice reluctantly and put his arms down. He stared at Solomon and said, “You… do you know who am I? Murdering a lieutenant general… that… that means going to the military court.”

The soldiers came back to their senses at this time. That’s right! Are these people crazy? What they are doing now is enough for them to go to the military court and be imprisoned for sure.

“Let go of me now… I will act like nothing happened.” Solov gasped fiercely. As the lieutenant general of the Federation’s military headquarters, it was almost like holding a death-exemption plate. As long as you were not caught doing any anti-government activities, there would not be a big problem even if it was corrupt. After all, how many officials were there in the world who would truly not use their own power to seek personal gain?

“Solov. Lieutenant general rank. The general commander of Saturn’s military headquarters.” Solomon smirked and looked at Solov, “Do you know who I am?”

Solov looked at Solomon’s smile and felt unsure suddenly. A young man who dared to launch an attack even when he knew his identity. In addition to his own powerful strength, he must have a solid background.

“My name is Solomon.” Solomon raised his empty hand and pointed at Qin Fen, who was opening the iron box, “Do you know who they are, lieutenant general? We even dared to kill Zuo Dongting. You think we’ll be afraid of you?”

Kill Zuo Dongting? The soldiers in the base were all stunned. Is he talking about the mighty General Zuo Dongting of East Asia in the Earth’s headquarters? Was the general killed by them? Seriously? If it is true, who are these people? Why didn’t the military headquarters arrest and punish them?

Solov’s last fierce flame was extinguished. The hands that had previously retained some strength fell powerlessly to his sides. His gaze switched from surprise to suspicion and back to surprise.

As a lieutenant general, I still know what happened on Earth even if I am on Saturn. The cause of Zuo Dongting’s death was a top secret for the average soldiers. For lieutenant generals and above, it was not an absolute secret. Those who wanted to inquire especially about this matter could always hear about it.

Zuo Dongting died in Qin Fen’s hands! That Qin Fen who left Sacred Martial Hall not long ago and killed the two masters of martial arts in succession in Hallasan. Not long after that, he killed Zuo Dongting in the Sahara?

Solov had read Qin Fen’s information before, but he did not look at the small two-inch photo seriously at the time. Instead, he paid attention to his experience in the military. In less than three years, the number of lives he had taken was a lot. The results of the recruit contest could only be described as abnormally crazy.

Merciless and vicious means but he was not evil! Solov commented on Qin Fen after reading the information. This young man is merciless when he is against the enemy and his shots are vicious enough, but he is not a person who liked to kill innocent people. It can even be said that there is hardly any soul that died unjustly in his hands. He walked an upright path that was worthy of conscience and in accordance with heaven and earth.

“Snake…” Solov’s eye twitched and the heart that was burning with rage had extinguished in an instant, “Snake King… you are so merciless…”

Solov understood everything at that instant. It was no news that the development of Saturn’s military headquarters was not satisfactory. They used to send people to take over it but they were all kicked back to Earth easily by their own tyrant. Some even tied the people up and threw them into spaceships before sending them back to Earth.

For almost a year, the Earth headquarters only expressed that more people would come, but they never really saw anyone.

Solov always thought that the military headquarters would only vent their dissatisfaction verbally. He didn’t expect them to send people again. Furthermore, the people they sent this time were young men with great strength and determination.

Revolt? Solov looked at Solomon’s eyes and chose to give up instantly. He was far behind Zuo Dongting’s power and strength. These young people killed such powerful martial artist but did not cause the military headquarters to arrest them. This can only mean two things.

First: Snake King’s support.

Second: These young people have a power that was feared by Earth’s headquarters. They may not be able to compete with the strength of the entire headquarter, but the military headquarters will also suffer huge losses to destroy them if they were to revolt mercilessly till the end.

To think that this group of young people could kill Zuo Dongting and still swaggered to Saturn to take over the military headquarters… Solov completely gave up in despair.

Creak…

In the inner chamber, there was a shrill metal friction sound and the iron box opened slowly. It was not golden coins or jewels but stacks of colored paper. To be more precise, the first iron box was filled with a bundle of neatly arranged banknotes!

“God! This is cash!” Xue Tian screamed and the katana in his hands wiggled to open several iron boxes.

Banknotes, banknotes, and more banknotes filled in the boxes!

The things inside these iron boxes were surprisingly unified and there was nothing else except the banknotes.

The nearby soldiers who looked at the banknotes in the iron box were also dumbfounded. Although they knew that the lieutenant general hid some of his corrupt money here, the amount of banknotes in front of their eyes was too much.

Qin Fen picked up the document that dropped from the ground and walked slowly to the front of Solov, swaying the document, “Can you explain?”

Solov looked at the documents in Qin Fen’s hand, almost hopeless. Suddenly, there was a refreshed look on his face and his lips formed a shallow smile. His tone was calm and said, “Corruption.”

Qin Fen stunned for a moment. He hardly dealt with this kind of political affairs before and he thought that the corrupters would be timid in the face of corruption. He didn’t expect Solov to be so calm, much less completely indifferent.

Qin Fen looked back at Yang Lie, Caesar, and the others. These people were born in well-known families and they were designated as the first heirs. Not only were their martial arts techniques above others, they were also trained from an early age to handle political affairs. They had more rights to voice out in this matter.

Caesar made a modest ‘you first’ gesture to Yang Lie. Yang Lie said brazenly, “There are two ways. The first is the more common method. It is also a more formal method. Collect all the evidence and then send him back to the military headquarters. Let the military court conduct trials on him.”

Qin Fen nodded lightly and turned to look at the documents scattered on the ground. Although I do not understand the regulations of the military court, the evidence on the ground should be enough for him to stay in prison for a lifetime, right?

“However, there are some sequels for this method. Low-ranking people would definitely be arrested and sentenced when they commit crimes like these but high-ranking people will trade between themselves. It’s unlikely for them to enter the prison.” Yang Lie looked at Solov, “This person may not be a high-ranking man in our eyes but he’s just like a god in the eyes of ordinary people. All…”

Qin Fen nodded and asked, “Is it unlikely that he will be sentenced?”

Yang Lie raised his finger and praised it. There was a trace of evil in his eyes, “There is another way, which is to kill.”

Solov’s scalp went numb for a moment. Yang Lie was chill and decisive when he mentioned murder. It was not like he was joking or making a suggestion.

“This kind of person…” Yang Lie shook his head, “If you really send him back for a trial, what would he do if the final result states that he is not guilty and is to be released?”

Qin Fen watched Solov and replied thoughtfully, “He will cause trouble for us or to the people around us. Perhaps, he would even become extremely dangerous. Hence, killing him is better.”

The soldiers in the hall looked at Qin Fen and Yang Lie with a stunned look. What kind of young people are they? They are discussing killing the supreme commander of Saturn’s military headquarters in front of everyone without even trying to conceal the discussion.

Chen Feiyu looked at the soldiers’ expressions and secretly sneered. The conversation between Qin Fen and Yang Lie was impromptu but the cooperation between them was really in place.

These people in the hall had been in Saturn for a long time and they had lost their initial respect for Earth’s military headquarters. If Solov can be so corrupted, it would be a wonder if these people were clean! We would probably still use them in Saturn in the future. In order to let them listen to the orders obediently, a simple demonstration of martial dao strength would not have any effect.

Killing is always the best deterrent! Qin Fen looked at Solomon and gently nodded. From the data, Solov’s corruption was completely blatant. Many of these things were not just a sacrifice of Saturn’s low-ranking soldiers’ interest, some were even related to the betrayal of human life.

“You… you… what do you want?” Solov’s eyes widened in horror, “Qin Fen! I am a lieutenant general. I am telling you that you will regret it if you kill me! The Inferno… Inferno will look for you to take revenge.”

Solomon felt the interest of Qin Fen and the five fingers that controlled the force and no longer exerted pressure temporarily.

“Inferno?” Qin Fen raised his eyes and looked at Solov.

“Yes! Inferno!” Solov saw the change in Qin Fen’s expression. He suddenly felt a string of hope to save his life. He couldn’t take care of the uncomfortable choke and quickly said, “I won’t continue to conceal anything now. In fact, my identity is not just the lieutenant general of the Federation’s military headquarters, I am also a member of Inferno!”

Qin Fen was a little surprised. The military headquarters should be very careful about the personnel assessment. Solov is actually a member of Inferno. This was indeed a little unexpected.

There was suddenly an uproar in the hall. The soldiers could no longer suppress the shock in their hearts. They stared at Solov with disbelief in their eyes. The Saturn’s military headquarters had been against the Elysium and Inferno. This Solov is actually a member of Inferno. Then, what other secrets are there in this place? It was already a miracle to survive all this while.

“Yes. That’s right. I am also a member of Inferno.” Solov secretly let out a sigh of relief. On Saturn, if you said that you were from military headquarters or even if you were a policeman, there were still people who dared to take the risk and kill you. However, if you say that you were from Inferno, only people from Elysium were daring enough to attack.

“You have to think clearly. I am a member of Inferno.” Solov’s tense attitude relaxed again, “If you kill me, can you handle Inferno’s revenge?”

Qin Fen leaned closer to observe Solov for three seconds. Although his eyes were flickering a little, his pupils did not change. The rhythm of the heartbeat was not balanced but it was not a change caused by lying. It was a phenomenon that occurred when one was between life and death.

“You are not lying.” Qin Fen nodded lightly and thought for a moment. “Then, can you tell me what your identity in Inferno is?”

“Yaksha…”
