Chapter 204: Heart Plucking Butcher vs Devil Finger Butcher

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The fanatical and bloody lobby, coupled with the bloodiness of the building’s exterior, showed that it wasn’t splendid and lavish here. However, the decorations had a different kind of elegance to it. There was a kind of unspoken comfort for the people that walked into it. The bloody murderous atmosphere from the stairs felt as if it was suppressed.

The fat shopkeeper quickly strode towards the front desk. With both arms splayed on the desk, he turned toward the pretty attendant and said, “Hi, Lisa, I’ve brought a person who would like to beat Gruesome Madness.”

Lisa, whose hair was dyed blond, glanced at Qin Fen. She didn’t pay any more attention to him. She lowered her head and opened the safe box for a number card.

Lisa had encountered such people a lot. People like Qin Fen who were young yet overconfident due to slight achievements in their lives and so came to challenge Gruesome Madness.

If one had no other specialty besides fighting and you lived in the Golden Triangle, you would only enter a place like Gruesome Madness in order to earn money. You would be discovered by the local general’s military detectives, and subsequently, be able to live a good life.

“This is your number card...” Lisa looked at the blood-stained number in her hand. Her heart jumped a bit seeing the number, “Forty-four...”

Hearing this number plate, the fat shopkeeper’s face became more joyous. He patted Qin Fen’s shoulder, “There’s an elevator over there, you should go down first. I’ll be over there soon...”

Qin Fen took the number that was stained with god knows how many people’s blood. He put the number plate that was turning yellow on his chest. Then, he went into the escalator without turning back.

Lisa stared at the changing floor number on the elevator, and rolled her eyes towards the fat shopkeeper, “How can you laugh? It is the unlucky plate number forty-four. None who had gotten that number plate seemed to be able to escape the fate of dying on the first battle. If he is defeated, you would only earn a bit of a referral fee. If he wins, however, you could earn some commission...”

“I know.” The shopkeeper lustfully looked at Lisa, with her half-exposed top that revealed a deep cleavage. He swallowed his saliva, ” Are you free tonight? How does having a meal together sound?”

“A meal?” Lisa pushed her voluptuous breasts with both her hands, “Vincent, what you want to eat isn’t dinner, it’s me, right? I’m actually quite expensive.”

“Cheh...” Vincent rolled his eyes towards Lisa, “Expensive? Forget about dinner. I have better women to eat with tonight...”

Vincent didn’t even look at Lisa after he finished talking. He moved his obese body towards the lift entrance.

Compared to the mature Lisa, he preferred the quiet woman beside Qin Fen, who had looks that were outstanding! If only he could get that frosty chick on his bed...

When Vincent thought of Lin Ling’s sexy and energetic figure, a rush of warm arousal flowed to his lower abdomen.

When Qin Fen walked into the underground second floor, he suddenly heard chaotic noises and shouts. Thousands of the seats had already been filled with people. Every one of these people waved their bills and beers. Their expressions were very excited as they stared at the only arena at the center of the floor.

There were two warriors in the fight. In this arena, any weapons, except for firearms, were allowed. If you had enough money, you could even buy an oscillating magnetic knife and nobody would stop you from bringing it into the arena.

At this time, the two in the arena were five-star meteor-level warriors. They did not choose to fight bare-fisted in the arena. For the two of them, one of them was wielding a blade, while the other was wielding two metal rods. The only thing was, these two metal rods had hundreds of half-inch metal spikes on it.

If such a weapon were to smash a person’s body...there would only be a horrific result.

At this time, both of them had blood stains on their bodies. Before Qin Fen walked out of the elevator, the two of them had already put up with half of a brutal battle.

As Qin Fen walked towards the number queue near the arena, he studied the two people in the arena.

It was apparent that it was not their first encounter in this life-or-death arena for the two middle-aged people. Whether it was the aura emanating from their bodies, or the sizzling decisiveness of their blows, they were far superior than those that only did basic training in the recruit camp every day.

Both of them were on a different level.

Qin Fen believed that if it wasn’t for the countless experiences of his life-or-death battles and training under several instructors, or if he had only trained to the power of a five-star, he would’ve died within ten moves in this arena against anyone.

Between life and death is the most well-trained person.

It wasn’t just the training of the physical body, it was also the training of willpower.

When he neared the arena, Qin Fen discovered that the first rows were actually not the audience. In fact, they were all like him, wearing a number plate on their chests.

These people had a serious expression on them. They seemed to not be affected by the roar of the surrounding environment but were calmly watching everything that happened in the arena. They needed to study these two people. Everyone knew that the person who lived this fight might end up being their next opponent.

Qin Fen arrived at the table where his number was scheduled. He took the number plate off his chest and handed it over.

The person responsible for the number plate here was a man with a messy beard. When he saw the number plate that Qin Fen handed, his eyes were suddenly shot with a bloodthirsty aura. The corner of his lips brought a hint of ridicule and said, “Kid, you’ve been having bad luck lately huh?”

Qin Fen squinted at the battle that was nearing its end, and replied casually, “It sucks.”

Messy beard man had an “I wasn’t mistaken” look on his face. He swiftly entered the number forty-four onto the computer and said, “When are you going to start? Do you want to familiarize yourself with the environment? Or...”

“Familiarize with the environment first, can you arrange me in the last round before lunch?”

Qin Fen looked at the bloody scene that appeared in the arena, his tone still plain when he answered.

Now the warrior that used the blade in the arena was dead. Fluids of his brain oozed out into the arena and his eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Until the last blow, he had the upper hand. However, he didn’t realize that the two seemingly solid iron bars were hollow! There turned out to be an iron chain inside! At the crucial moment, the rods that were covered with metal spikes suddenly became a nunchaku [1]. The chain locked his blade, smashing his cranium to pieces.

The winner didn’t feel happy about his victory. This victory was won with his secret ultimate move. The next opponent would definitely be prepared against this move.

When messy beard man heard Qin Fen’s request, he repeatedly shook his head and laughed, “No wonder you’re the one that drew the unlucky number. Even the requested round is the unlucky round. Look up at the big screen, your opponent is there, number fifty-four.”

“Look!!” Someone in the noisy crowd suddenly shouted, “Devil Finger Butcher! The butcher, number fifty-four; his opponent is designated.”

With this scream, the noisy crowd went quiet for a while and then boiled into a more chaotic mess.

Qin Fen took the number plate and turned around. He found that the gladiators who sat in the first row looked at him with gazes of looking at the dead. Some of them showed sympathy, however, there were more that mocked him.

Despite their gaze, deep down they all showed the same emotions.

Qin Fen understood their gaze as “rejoicing”. These gladiators felt fortunate. They were rejoicing the fact that they didn’t encounter the Devil Finger Butcher.

Logically speaking, those that were able to participate in Gruesome Madness were supposed to be a group of people who had long since not taken life and death seriously. These people, who supposedly didn’t take life and death seriously, were actually afraid of the Devil Finger Butcher.

There was no need for any explanation of words, nor a search for any information. Judging from the reaction of the audience and the expression of the gladiators, it was clear that this Devil Finger Butcher who was on the second floor underneath the arena was very powerful.

When Vincent saw the person he brought being matched up against the Devil Finger Butcher, his face was filled with joy. The number plate forty-four was really a curse. His first time entering and he was already matched up against the Devil Finger Butcher...if this wasn’t the unlucky cursed number, what was it?

In this level of the arena, if there was a question of who the strongest gladiator was, many would give different answers.

Some would say it would be Chen Feiyu’s Seven Breaks Seven Prohibitions Sad Fists. Those that were struck were doomed to die. While dying, they had a distorted face, as if they were smiling. However, this smile was more tragic, uglier, and sadder than crying.

It was rumored that the conditions for practicing this set of exercises were very harsh. Seven prohibitions were to be followed and that was, heart, love, enmity, desire, bitterness, life and death, and missing.

Seven breaks were of the opponent’s end. They were the break of heartbeat, blood pulse, tendon, liver and intestines, kidneys, bones, and wrists.

Some people would also say that it was Bian Lice’s Bone Bruising and Rotting Fists. Victims died as usual. But upon autopsy, it was found that no matter the blood, organs or bone, all was turned greenish-black.

Of course, some people would choose the Devil Finger Butcher.

But if it were to be determined in this level’s arena who the most violent, mad, crazy one was it would definitely be the Devil Finger Butcher. It was undeniable for everyone.

“Hello, I’m your first opponent in Gruesome Madness.”

Qin Fen heard the voice and slowly looked up at the person standing in front of him.

The height was about one point eight meters tall. His muscles underneath his clothes were well-proportioned, containing excellent explosive power. Both hands were coarse and wide, with veins bulging on the back of the hand like old tree roots. The nails were trimmed neat and there was no sharpness at all. The muscles in between the thumb and forefinger were propped up like small stones.

The number plate fifty-four was wiped very clean, hanging on the chest to match the appearance of the slightly gentle, professor-like person.

The two people sitting next to Qin Fen subconsciously made a hiding action. Both leaned away to the sides, not daring to look at number fifty-four.

Lin Ling also walked down from the crowd at this time. She graciously sat on Qin Fen’s lap, and quietly leaned into his arms with a sweet and happy look.

Qin Fen wrapped his arms around Lin Ling’s waists, gently cuddling her. Qin Fen replied with his gaze filled with contempt, “I may be your last opponent.”

“Hehe...”

This did not surprise the Devil Finger Butcher. When the newcomers first came, they always thought that they were invincible, and that arrogance was more for their own courage’s sake.

“Really? My favorite thing to do is...” The Devil Finger Butcher gently bent down and looked at Qin Fen, as if the flower-like jade Lin Ling didn’t exist at all, “To hear the screams and pleads of my opponent until they die.”

The Devil Finger Butcher’s temperament was still professional as ever, however, the tone of his voice showed hints of excitement from deep down. That startling difference made the surrounding gladiators get goosebumps all over their skin.

“I hate bugs chirping beside my ears.” Qin Fen was unfazed and looked back at the Devil Butcher, “So, I prefer to kill my opponents quickly and swiftly.”

The Devil Finger Butcher’s face showed an excited smile. He turned to look at the gladiator next to Qin Fen, and with the same politeness he said, “Hello, can you give me this seat?”

The boxer who was asked hesitated. No one here was willing to offend the Devil Finger Butcher. However, if the seat was given out in the eyes of the public, they would be looked down upon by countless people. The aura of power would be destroyed. When they went up to the arena again, they would surely lose.

“You don’t need to give the dead a seat.” Qin Fen didn’t even look at the gladiator and the Devil Finger Butcher, “And, although I don’t know who you have met before that would lead you to worship that person, please don’t pretend to be hysterical. You don’t look like it.”

The smile on the face of the Devil Finger Butcher, for the first time, went stiff. His neck mechanically turned, once again sizing his opponent.

Qin Fen completely ignored the people beside him. He quietly watched the new battle that was about to begin in the arena.

Reading information will never be as good as witnessing it with your own eyes and experiencing it firsthand. Before you start, you can get a deeper understanding of the style here, that was the most important.

After watching a few fights, the audience had begun to make a ruckus, and people chanted very rhythmically, “Devil Finger Butcher... Devil Finger Butcher...”

The waves of cheers were endless. The atmosphere became hyped up with the shouts and screams of everyone.

A beautiful woman dressed in a bikini held a megaphone and swayed her butt in a way that would entice men’s carnal desires. She walked up to the arena and said, “According to everyone’s expectations, the next battle is number fifty-four, Devil Finger Butcher and the unlucky number forty-four, newcomer. I don’t know, can this newcomer can break the curse of the unlucky number? Or will they die under the torture of the Devil Finger Butcher?”

The Devil Finger Butcher rushed into the arena with three swift steps and slapped the seductive buttock of that beautiful woman. The crisp and loud sound reached everyone’s ears.

The beautiful woman let out a terrified scream when groped by the Devil Finger Butcher, as if there was somebody that was going to murder her.

She frantically ran two steps away, using her own hands to feel her buttocks, to find that there wasn’t any harm done.

Just as she felt a sense of relief, the panty that was covering her mysterious land scattered into pieces. Her entire mysterious land was presented in front of thousands of people.

At this moment, the sound of the wolves howling and whistles arose from all sides of the audience.

The woman’s outfit was in pieces, yet she did not show any signs of panic. She simply tore off the two pieces of clothing that were covering her upper body, and with her naked body, swayed her way down the arena. She came towards Qin Fen and seductively said, “Kid, if you could kill that guy who just tore off my outfit, I’ll be yours tonight.”

Pa...

A loud slap across the woman’s face was made by Lin Ling on Qin Fen’s laps.

“He’s my man.”

At that moment, Lin Ling’s cold eyes and voice made the woman feel like she was going to be killed.

The people watching once again made a ruckus. Each wave of sounds got louder and louder.

Qin Fen got up and grabbed the tempting waist of Lin Ling. He said to the woman with a calm tone, “Do you think that you’re prettier than her?”

With a simple sentence, the naked woman’s expression changed greatly. She looked more embarrassed than disappointed. Her appearance was really good, but compared to Lin Ling, it was far more than a slight difference.

Qin Fen looked up at the arena, and with strides akin to Eight Forms of Flying Dragon, allowed him to lift his head up with magnificent confidence. In a few strides, he went up to the arena.

“To the two men I hate, I wish you all perish together.” The woman who was slapped in the face by Lin Ling shouted into the megaphone, “Start now!”

The Devil Finger Butchers gentle face turned into a grin at this moment. He wiggled ten of his fingers as he smiled and said, “I used to be caught by the Union because I killed people and decimated their corpse. I was forced to escape here. On the way out, I shredded six policemen. I like the feeling of using my fingers to scrape pieces of flesh off the body. I enjoy listening to the screams of my victims, even more so when I see their terrified faces because of my cruelty. I hope you don’t disappoint me...”

With arms relaxed, Qin Fen stood his ground with a few traces of disdain in his face, “Devil Finger? Maybe you really have this qualification. It’s not easy to train up to this point. It’s just...tch...”

“Just what?” The Devil Finger looked at Qin Fen’s disdainful expression, his face became ferocious and scary, “Do you have opinions about the word butcher?”

“Yes, and a lot.” Qin Fen nodded and walked closer to him briskly, “You are not worthy of the word. From today, I have requisitioned the word.”

“You?” The Devil Butcher laughed. His feet gently padded the ground and walked with strange strides. It was the movements he created when he fled into the Golden Triangle. He gave this set of movements the name – The Dance of Death. It was graceful, yet filled with trickery.

The biggest advantage of this was that he could leave afterimages in others’ retinas, leading to false judgments. Only with this was he able to take his time scraping off pieces of flesh on their body, until they were picked to death.

Qin Fen’s brisk walk suddenly turned into dragon-like movements. In one arrow-like stride, he appeared in front of the Devil Finger Butcher.

This step wasn’t only fast, the positioning was just right as well, being able to block all the retreat routes of the devil.

Pa...

Both of them were lightning fast, criss-crossing each other.

The clothes at Qin Fen’s shoulders broke a slit. Those who had shirts that were torn on the shoulders in the past would subsequently vomit a streak of blood.

This time, only the clothes were torn, and there was no streak of blood. There was no scream of excitement for the audience after the streak of blood.

The Devil Finger Butcher looked astonishingly at his finger. It was the first time his flower pluck move did not pinch any of his opponent’s flesh.

He turned his head and looked at Qin Fen who also turned to look at him.

This number forty-four gladiator had something in his hand. It was a human organ.

This organ was something the Devil Finger Butcher was very familiar with. Every time when he was about to completely kill his opponent, he would break open their chest, listen to their painful screams, and pull out the organ called “heart”.

Today, this number forty-four youngster had such an organ in his hand. Moreover, this organ was still beating very regularly, and with each contraction, a little blood would still be squeezed out.

The Devil Finger Butcher reflexively looked down. There was a hole in his chest, and fresh red blood was flowing out.

“You...” The Devil Finger Butcher was no longer thinking about why he didn’t manage to pinch the other’s flesh. He reached out and grabbed his bloody chest, looking at Qin Fen with the utmost horror.

“In plucking hearts, I am more professional than you.” Qin Fen smiled as he crushed the heart in his hand, along with the hopes of the Devil Finger Butcher. His icy cold voice entered the Butcher’s ears, “When I escaped here, I killed more than sixty policemen, as well as seventeen specialized soldiers. In my eyes, you are as weak as a child.”
