A shout that came late struck the souls of everyone in the mourning hall.
Practically everyone in the large mourning hall held their breaths. Only the sound of the flickering candle flames could be heard.
Du Peng knelt beside the crystal coffin. After the shout of "brother", he stopped all his movements. His body lay there quietly without moving.
Du Chaoqun and his brother quickly exchanged glances. They saw the key to killing intent from each other's eyes. The two of them stomped on the ground and pounced toward the heavily injured and unconscious Du Peng.
Du Peng's display of strength today was far too astonishing. The two brothers were very worried. If Du Hen were to take things too hard and choose this bastard, then they would never have the chance to make a name for themselves.
The two didn't have Du Zhanpeng's talent and hard work, but they were still relatives of the Du Family. The martial arts they learned were martial arts that ordinary people wouldn't necessarily be able to buy even if they spent a lot of money. They used the Fluttering Snow Piercing Cloud Steps as soon as they moved.
The Fluttering Snow Piercing Cloud Steps was said to be able to allow a martial artist to step on the snowflakes that had yet to fall to the ground in the middle of a snowstorm when trained to the peak.
Even though they hadn't trained it to the peak, the two of them, who were at the peak of the three-star level, were still astonishingly fast. Many four-star martial artists were left in the dust.
Without Du Yu's attitude, none of the people who came to participate in the mourning dared to make a move to stop them.
Qin Fen didn't move either. The moment Du Chaoqun and his brother made their move, he felt the dense anger within one person's body that couldn't be released. The muscles of his calf instantly exploded with a strength that was enough to split metal and break rocks.
Xing Wuyi's body floated out as if he were dancing. The Wind Chasing Shadow, which was in no way inferior to the Piercing Snow Piercing Cloud Steps, bloomed brilliantly with four-star strength. With a leap, he caught up to the two people behind them. The ten fingers of his two hands curled, noiselessly clasping onto the two people's shoulders. He fiercely pressed the two people down from the air.
Bang!
The two never thought that someone would make a move. They never thought that the person who made a move would actually be Du Zhanpeng's good brother, Xing Wuyi.
Du Chaoqun twisted his ankle, driving his waist to fiercely sway. His shoulder slid down like a loach, dispersing the force of the claw.
However, he heard Xing Wuyi sneer from behind. His wrist shook over and over, using his joints to draw two circles. He sent the loach like force back into Du Chaoqun's body. The clothes on his arms shook as he pressed down once more.
[Weaving Crane Capturing Dragon Hand]!
Du Chaoqun was shocked. Before he could react, his knees suddenly went numb, and he knelt on the ground uncontrollably. His knees broke the stone slab into pieces.
Du Chaopeng looked at the ground with an ashen face. He didn't even have the heart to resist.
When the [Weaving Crane Capturing Dragon Hand] was trained to its peak, it was said that even the legendary dragons could be caught. What's more, there was an entire level of difference between their martial arts.
"Xing Wuyi, do you know what you're doing?" Du Chaoqun furiously raised his eyebrows and turned his head to glare at Xing Wuyi fiercely, "How dare you interfere in the affairs of our Du Family? Are you tired of living? "
A very indifferent smile appeared at the corner of Xing Wuyi's mouth, but he did not lose the arrogance that was ingrained in the bones of a descendant of an aristocratic family. He faced the two juniors of the Du Family with a very disdainful light in his eyes. "In the Du Family, I only admire Zhanpeng. I will do whatever he wants me to do. "
At this point, Xing Wuyi raised his eyelids and looked at the unconscious Du Peng. Faint grief and disgust were emitted from his forehead. "Even if I hate that person, I will still fulfill my promise to Zhanpeng."
"You …"
Du Chaoqun still wanted to speak, but Xing Wuyi suddenly released his grip on his shoulder. He raised his leg and kicked Du Chaoqun's face, directly kicking him into the crowd.
"You. What qualifications do you have to speak to me?"
Xing Wuyi released Du Chaopeng at this time. His hands were gently placed behind his back, and he stood perfectly straight in place like a javelin. His chin was slightly raised as he looked at the ceiling.
For a moment, quite a few people felt that their eyes were playing tricks on them. The one standing here wasn't Xing Wuyi, but Du Zhanpeng.
Xing Wuyi didn't even look at Du Chaopeng under his feet. He said very disdainfully, "Scram."
At this moment, Xing Wuyi seemed to be possessed by Du Zhanpeng. His every movement was filled with Du Zhanpeng's aura.
Du Chaopeng saw Du Zhanpeng's shadow on Xing Wuyi's body. His many years of accumulated might caused him to instinctively retreat quickly.
Xing Wuyi arrived before the crystal coffin with large strides. He stared at Du Zhanpeng, who seemed to be in deep sleep. He said very faintly, "You rest. I will do what you should do."
Xing Wuyi stooped down and carried Du Peng. He turned around and gave Du Yu a bow. Under everyone's gazes, he quickly walked out of the mourning hall.
Qin Fen gazed at Du Zhanpeng's coffin from afar. He silently performed a standard military salute. He used a voice that only he could hear and said, "You are an outstanding soldier, and you are even more of a good brother."
With these words, Qin Fen turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.
After a short period of chaos, the mourning hall returned to its original order once more.
It was just that the originally dense aura of grief was pushed to an even higher level following Du Peng's success.
Every single person who stopped before Du Zhanpeng's coffin cast gazes of admiration toward him. This was a true man who could support the heavens and the earth.
Du Peng, who returned to the hospital once more, was covered in blood once more.
The aftereffects of taking Du Yu's attack head on only now truly erupted.
The tyrannical destructive power caused blood to seep out from even his pores.
"Doctor, the patient's right hand is clenched too tightly. I am unable to pry open his palm and make him relax. I am unable to insert needles like this …. "
Faint traces of sweat could already be seen on the nurse's forehead.
Qin Fen took a step forward. He extended a finger and tapped on Du Peng's shoulder and arm a few times. He then leaned over and whispered into Du Peng's ear, "I am Qin Fen. I will help you hold it for now. Don't worry. I won't let anyone take it away. "
The nurse's tightly clenched fist slowly opened. She looked at the metal box in her palm with great curiosity. Just what in the world was this? It was able to make a person who had nearly lost all of his consciousness clench it in a death grip? Could it be that it was really that important? Was it more important than his life?
Qin Fen withdrew from the ward under Xing Wuyi's indication.
"Do you want to go see your other comrades?" Xing Wuyi slowly said, "There are orders from above. Due to the great losses from the mission and because we completed the mission excellently, we don't need to train for the time being. From now on, we will be on temporary leave. "
"Leave?" Qin Fen walked shoulder to shoulder with Xing Wuyi outside the door. A hint of awkwardness appeared between his brows.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem? "Xing Wuyi looked at the sky outside the door." I can be considered a local snake here. If there's anything, you can tell me. "
Qin Fen answered very simply, "Do you know where the cheapest place to live is? The cheapest! It's enough to block the wind and the rain. I don't want to continue living with the Du Family. "
Xing Wuyi nodded silently. The Du Family wouldn't let Qin Fen live here for nothing.
"Why don't you stay at my house?"
Qin Fen gently shook his head in the face of the invitation. "No thanks. I think that the way you do things this time probably won't satisfy your family. It's best if I don't continue to be a burden to you. "
Xing Wuyi shrugged his shoulders in a very natural and unrestrained manner. "Then why don't we stay at the military camp? The Federation has a rule that if active duty soldiers are out on a mission, they can temporarily stay at the nearest military camp. Though we are on leave, we are still in accordance with this rule. "
"Stay at the military camp?" Qin Fen furrowed his brow, thinking quickly.
Shengjing was one of the largest cities in the entire Federation. The army here should be a top-notch team. Then the corresponding training equipment should be much better than that of recruit camp. It wouldn't be a bad thing if he could use all of this for free.
"Can I use the training equipment of the military camp for the time being?"
"Of course you can." Xing Wuyi patted Qin Fen on the shoulder. "You have a good eye. There are indeed a dozen or so military camps in the entire Federation that can compare to the training equipment of Shengjing's military camp. However, I'm afraid there really aren't any that can surpass the training equipment of Shengjing's military camp."
"Okay, then we'll stay at the military camp." Qin Fen followed Xing Wuyi to another hospital building. "Let's go see our comrades first, then we'll go to the military camp."
The military footed the bill for everything in this mission. The recruits were like Du Zhanpeng; they enjoyed the treatment of a high-class nurse.
It was just that everyone wasn't as heavily injured as Du Zhanpeng, so the conditions of the wards were naturally a bit worse than Du Zhanpeng's.
The recruits didn't have any complaints regarding this. Compared to their brothers who died in battle, being able to live was already the greatest satisfaction.
What made Qin Fen feel the most surprised was still Mute.
The death-soldier who had risked his life to throw the high-explosive incendiary offensive grenade actually miraculously didn't die.
The tyrannical dragon-scale bulletproof vest saved his life, making him the only person in the team with injuries greater than Du Zhanpeng's. He was still unconscious in the highest level of intensive care ward. Twelve bullets actually didn't kill him. Even the old doctor, who had practiced medicine for many years, couldn't help but sigh. This recruit's will to live was far too strong.
Perhaps it shouldn't be said to be the will to live, but rather some sort of obsession. It was the will to live that made the Grim Reaper feel fatigued in the end, making him choose to give up his job as a soul hunter.
Everyone was happy to see that Qin Fen was safe and sound.
Though everyone hadn't known each other for a long time, they were people who had experienced life and death together. Their feelings had unknowingly become incomparably solid.
The warm atmosphere continued all the way into the night. Xing Wuyi's heavy heart was washed away quite a bit by this thick warmth.
Du Zhanpeng's funeral hall was no longer as lively as it was during the day. There were only a few soldiers responsible for standing guard here, waiting for his corpse to be brought to the crematorium to be cremated the next day.
The night was quiet, and the sky was pitch-black.
Several figures silently appeared behind the guards.
Hand blades that were as uniform as one chopped at the back of the guards' heads at the same time. These guards didn't even know what had happened until they fainted.
The funeral hall, which had lost its guards, became even quieter. Several people dressed in black walked into the funeral hall together.
"Big Bro Zhan, though I don't know why you're interested in stealing corpses, you just need to tell us about such a small matter. There's no need for you to personally come, right?"
A black-clothed person stared at the man walking at the very front. The man was one hundred and eighty-five meters tall. The man's body seemed to have been carved out of the golden ratio.
The man who was addressed as Big Bro Zhan stared at Du Zhanpeng within the crystal coffin. It was as if he was talking to himself. "He has a reason for me to personally come. If the legendary Seven Stars of Immortal Thunder Holy Level Wheel is truly that miraculous, then … "
Big Bro Zhan's palm gently caressed the crystal coffin. This material, which could be considered hard, completely turned into powder in an instant.
The eyes of the black-clothed people who followed Big Bro Zhan pulsed with the light of admiration.
There were a few people who could touch a rock and turn it into powder. However, if they wanted to do what Big Bro Zhan did, to silently turn the powder into ashes, or perhaps to turn it into a single molecule, this wasn't something they could do.
Big Bro Zhan gently bent down. He gently picked up Du Zhanpeng, who was within the fresh flowers, and turned around to walk toward the funeral hall.
The black-clothed people shook their heads over and over. They didn't know why this man, who normally seemed to not care about anything, would insist on personally rushing over from Jupiter to Shengjing just to pick up a corpse.
However, was his goal important? The black-clothed people's eyes were filled with smiles. Who cares what he wants! Just follow him and do it!
"Halt."
A low and deep voice rang out from the room next to the funeral hall.
Du Yu, dressed in the uniform of a general, walked out from the inner hall.
His pace wasn't fast, and the floor beneath his feet wasn't crushed like when Qin Fen and the others fought.
He didn't even use any internal energy. His many years of holding a high position had allowed him to cultivate a dense aura of might and pressure. It was just that he, Du Hen's son, would deliberately restrain his aura when he was by his side.
Du Yu calmly looked at the black-clothed people who had their faces covered. His calm tone seeped with an order that made it impossible for others to refuse. "Can you put down my son?"
The eyes of the black-clothed people lit up at the same time. The light was not the slightest bit inferior to a searchlight in the night. The hairs on their bodies completely stood on end in this instant. Their martial artist intuition told them that this middle-aged man before them, who didn't release any true energy, was an expert! Very strong. An extremely strong expert!
"Can I?" Du Yu didn't look at the other black-clothed people. He stared at the man called Big Bro Zhan.
This man, who similarly didn't use any true energy, and his eyes didn't contain any shock or emotion, was also an expert.
Du Yu could feel that the others were experts as well, but the strongest was certainly this man called Big Bro Zhan.
Du Yu was actually quite shocked. He couldn't understand where in the world so many experts had come from. They had suddenly appeared here just to take away Du Zhanpeng's corpse. What was their purpose?
Just what kind of power did these people belong to?
Du Yu really wanted to make these people stay and ask them clearly about all the things he couldn't understand.
However, he didn't truly put this thought into action. None of these people were weak, especially the man called Big Bro Zhan. He was a rare expert.
"You can't."
Big Bro Zhan shook his head very lightly. His tone was still very calm, so calm that it made people feel as if he didn't have any interest in anything.
"I think it's better if you stay."
Du Yu's voice was as if he was asking an old friend to stay for a meal. Before his voice even fell, he raised his right hand and grabbed at Big Bro Zhan, who was over twenty meters away.
