The Favored Son of Heaven

Exodus Tales
The X2 combat helicopter did not fly directly back to Happy Paradise Island. The course of events that led to the outcome of this mission completely exceeded the expectations of the group of generals of the military had.
The seasoned soldiers who had experienced an infiltration had yet to make a move. Nearly a hundred recruits, who the military didn’t attach true importance to, actually wiped out all the terrorists on the island in a situation without any heavy firepower.
In addition, the number of terrorists on this island exceeded the number that the military had in their intelligence, which was one hundred. There had been nearly three hundred terrorists in total.
This was a situation where a force of nearly a hundred recruits went to eliminate three hundred excellently armed terrorists. Anyone who was not a fool could guess a price that was paid. One didn’t even need to use his brains to be able to speculate just how many recruits were killed and to what tragic degree.
Practically all the recruits’ bodies sustained injuries, and approximately sixty were dead.
Everyone’s minds were highly focused in this battle, so they didn’t really notice anything wrong with their bodies.
As the recruits sat on the helicopters to leave this nameless island, the enormous feeling of exhaustion immediately assaulted all the recruits. Quite a few people simply crashed to the ground of the helicopter and passed out into sleep.
The doctors who followed closely behind immediately engaged in emergency treatment.
“This one is already dead....”
A doctor passed by Qin Fen and called to Qin Fen’s attention out of kindness.
“....”
Qin Fen raised his head. His gaze was tranquil as he looked at the doctor.
The doctor saw Qin Fen’s grief, and his heart couldn’t help but tremble.
The helicopters flew for much longer than it flew to get to the island to execute the mission in the first place. The helicopters flew for several times the original time before it finally began to descend from the skies.
When the helicopters landed steadily on the ground, a dozen or so large military vehicles immediately arrived at the helicopters’ landing area. Teams after teams of well-trained seasoned soldiers carried loaded firearms and stood to the two sides of the helicopters.
A military transport vehicle slowly sped into the landing area. In the end, it steadily parked by the side of the helicopter where Qin Fen was located.
The door to the black military vehicle slowly opened, and what first appeared was a pair of jet black shiny shoes. The surrounding seasoned soldiers immediately straightened their backs. With eyes of adoration, everyone stared at the person coming out of the vehicle.
The person who came out of the vehicle went straight to the helicopter where Qin Fen was at. He faced Qin Fen, who just got off, and studied him up and down.
As Qin Fen was studied by this person, Qin Fen studied him back all the same.
From his external appearance, this man appeared to be around forty years old. There were some grey patches on his sideburns, and an elite air exuded from up and down his body. Anyone could tell, with a single glance, that this man was an extremely capable and experienced soldier.
It was just that no matter how capable and experienced he looked like, and no matter how iron blooded his aura felt to others, the glow in his eyes was incapable of being completely hidden. It was a gaze that was filled with grief.
“So you’re the last person who Pengster saw?”
The man stood before Qin Fen and slowly open his mouth. Though he clearly asked in a questioning tone, there was a sense of command seeped within that one couldn’t refuse at all.
“Yes.”
Qin Fen hugged Du Zhanpeng and slowly nodded his head.
This middle-aged general before Qin Fen’s eyes had a face that was greatly similar to Du Zhanpeng. Qin Fen was confident that this man was a close relative of Du Zhanpeng.
“Do you know all of his last words, and all that he did, before the end?”
“I know.”
“Good.” The general, who looked to be middle-aged, raised a hand and waved his wrist. “Take him away.”
Without waiting for Qin Fen to respond at all, the two officers behind the general slightly swayed their shoulders. The two arrived by Qin Fen side and each extended five fingers toward Qin Fen’s shoulder.


There was only in this thought that flashed in Qin Fen’s mind, and his shoulders were grabbed by these two officers on the spot. It hadn’t been long ago since he made a breakthrough into the five-star, crossing the wide chasm into the meteor level. However, because he transfused Du Zhanpeng with the purest of true energy, he didn’t have the time to solidify his star level. Qin Fen, who fell back to the four-star peak at this time, was as weak as an infant in front of these comet level experts. He had no ability to resist at all.
“Grandfather Du....”
Xing Wuyi stood behind Qin Fen. With a sway of his body, he stuck himself between Qin Fen and the Viper King Du Hen. He spread his arms out and gently shook his head. “Young Master Du doesn’t want you, sir, to harm this friend of his.”
Du Hen was a bit shorter than Xing Wuyi in terms of stature. He studied Xing Wuyi up and down, but he gave off the feeling of a tall and overbearing fiend looking down on a tiny man.
Those two eyes had been filled with grief just a moment ago, but they suddenly enlarged in this instant! Xing Wuyi felt as if a cargo ship of over ten thousand tons was pressing on his entire world. It was as if his mental world could collapse at any moment.
Those eyes of grief had completely transformed into dense cold killing intent.
“Do you know who you are talking to?” The ice-cold words were squeezed out from between Du Hen’s teeth. “Even your grandfather does not dare to talk to me like this.”
“I... know....” Xing Wuyi found it hard to talk. It was as if a powerful force was pressing down on the back of his neck, seeking to have him lower his head.
“Grandfather Du, I already know everything you’ve just said.” Xing Wuyi held his hands in tight fists. His body shivered endlessly, as he forcefully resisted Du Hen’s powerful aura. “But if I, as Young Master Du’s friend, am unable to carry out his final dream for him, then that won’t be my disgrace but rather Young Master Du’s disgrace. That would mean that Young Master Du has been blind on this matter, misreading me, this friend of his. I cannot let any further disgrace come to him from here on. Even if it’s you, sir. This won’t do.”
Du Hen slowly wrinkled his brow. Even a comet level expert would be quaking in his boots, not daring to say a word, when faced with the sort of powerful pressure Du Hen was exerting. However, this four-star kid was actually able to be so unyielding.
Quite a bit of his fury dissipated, and the corner of his lips raised into a hint of a satisfied smile. “Pengster’s strength of vision is decent. You will come with me as well....”
When his voice fell, Xing Wuyi met the same fate as Qin Fen. He didn’t even have a chance to resist, when two large comet level experts press their hands on his shoulders, stopping him.
“You sir. You’re Du Zhanpeng’s grandfather?” Qin Fen was unable to move his body. He lowered his head and looked at Du Zhanpeng as he held him against his chest. “I don’t believe that Du Zhanpeng will die. Perhaps he can still be saved. You, sir, can—”
Qin Fen only felt the sight before his eyes turn black. It was as if Du Hen teleported, appearing right before Qin Fen. The thick palm pressed against Du Zhanpeng’s wrist, staying there for two seconds.
In a mere two seconds, the Viper King, who looked only to be forty years old, suddenly moved as if he were thirty years old. Neither spirit, essence, nor energy could be seen in his eyes. There was only an indescribable sorrow.
Du Hen slowly shook his head. He did his best to calm his own mind. “Come with me.”
When faced with overwhelming strength, whether it was Qin Fen or Xing Wuyi, it was impossible for the two to resist at all. They were “delivered” onto the vehicle.
“Wait a minute!”
Thirty or so recruits shouted out at practically the same time. Du Hen, who was just about to enter the vehicle, gently raised his head. He looked at them all.
“You, sir, are Young Master Du’s grandfather. We respect you, sir. However, if you want to take away our comrades...”


In this instant, the P308 Carbine Rifles had their safeties completely removed. Their pitch-black muzzles pointed at Du Hen.
The seasoned soldiers that were in charge of security all stared in stupefaction. Had these recruits gone mad? Do they know just what they were doing? They actually pointed guns at the Viper King? Did they think that killing themselves wouldn’t give them a fast enough death?
Du Hen’s two eyebrows slowly shifted to each other. People were pointing guns at him? Just how many years had it been since this last happened? This group of kids truly had a lot of guts.
“Do you all know what you are doing?”
“We know.” A smile hung on Snake Head’s face, one that said that he was going for broke. “Described lightly, something like this is called disobeying orders, and the punishment is detention. Described seriously, what we are doing is called a mutiny, for we are actually pointing guns at the general.”
Du Peng’s two eyebrows gently lifted up. “Then you all....”
Snake Head had an extremely radiant smile. “Apologies, Mr. General. We don’t have the habit of abandoning our comrades.”
“Even if that means death?” Du Hen’s tone carried an additional killing intent.
“Yes.” Snake Head nodded over and over. “Today, we have all collectively died once. We won’t care about dying a second time.”
“Excellent.” Du Hen’s tone carried an additional hint of praise. The next instant, a cold glow suddenly exploded from his eyes. His tone suddenly turned strict. “Arrest them!”
The thirty or so recruits didn’t even have an iota of a chance to resist. Tranquilizer guns shot out from each and every direction, simply tranquilizing all the recruits in an instant.
“Take them away.”
Du Hen tossed out a few words and had already made his way into the vehicle.
Qin Fen looked through the window of the vehicle. He looked at the other recruits with worry, as they were loaded onto different vehicles. He wanted to open his mouth and ask just now, but he saw the message that Xing Wuyi conveyed with his eyes. Don’t open your mouth. Don’t talk. They will be fine.
With this guarantee from Xing Wuyi, Qin Fen didn’t say anything. His attention turned to Du Zhanpeng’s body. An indescribable feeling of fatigue seeped from his gaze.
All this time, from the helicopter to now, Qin Fen didn’t stop transfusing Du Zhanpeng’s true energy with the true energy of his rejuvenation art. It was as if his body was completely empty. Currently, there was even a faint prickly pain in his dantian region. This was a sign that his true energy was on the edge of running out.
Give up? Qin Fen stubbornly shook his head. Perhaps once they made it to the Du Family and relied on this family’s power to urgently gather a group of famous doctors for consultation, Du Zhanpeng might really be able to rise from the dead.
If Qin Fen were to give up now.... Qin Fen was confident that he would regret this for the rest of his life.
The vehicle steadily traveled on the asphalt road. Though he was a high-ranking official of the military, Viper King didn’t use magnetic flying vehicles as luxurious as Song Jia’s. Instead, he chose an old-fashioned sedan, a vehicle whose wheels can make contact with the ground.
It was just that the price of this old-fashioned sedan, as well as its configuration, was in no way lacking when compared to Song Jia’s flying saucer-type magnetic flying car.
“Here.”
A comet level expert sat opposite to Qin Fen. He gave Qin Fen a bottle of brown liquid.
Though Qin Fen didn’t have pharmaceutical skills on the same level as Enzo Rota, he had learned from Cook for several days. He knew that the man was handing him a bottle of nutrient solution, one that was worth a considerable price.
