Chapter 1: This is what life is all about

  "Are you looking for trouble?"

  Su Hao heard Qin Yan's analysis, but he didn't have the mind to think carefully now. He yelled at the person blocking the middle of the road: "Do you believe that Master will run over you with a car? Damn it! Is there a red light here? Are there zebra crossings? You're looking for death and can't even find a place!"

  "Shut up!" Qin Yan's face was dark and terrifying as he scolded in a low voice.

  "Qin Ye... you..." Su Hao quickly shut his mouth, not because he was afraid of Qin Ye, but because from Qin Ye's expression, he felt that something big had happened.

  "Hurry up and go."

  Qin Yan opened the car door and walked away, leaving behind one last sentence: "Go as far as you can."

  The car door slammed shut, and Qin Yan walked step by step towards the man four meters away, stopping only when they were less than a meter apart.

  "It's been discovered after all." He said with a frown.

  "Greedy Wolf, long time no see."

  He was a man of medium build, nearly 1.75 meters tall, in his thirties, with an ordinary face that was neither ugly nor handsome.

  He was wearing a very ordinary summer short-sleeved shirt and looked just like an ordinary passerby.

  "Originally got some clues, just half-believing and half-doubting came to take a look, after all..."

  The man narrowed his eyes and stared at Qin Yan, saying with a hint of meaning: "Since the dantian is broken, how can you escape the pursuit of the Broken Army? Now that I think about it, there's only one possibility. I'm afraid that after I return this time, the leader will be very interested in the Broken Army. Remember that you have a good relationship with the Broken Army."

  "What if you can't go back?" Qin Yan revealed a hint of a smile.

  "Even if you're at your peak as a Greedy Wolf, you're only on par with me in terms of strength. Do you think you can still be my opponent after having your dantian pierced?"

  "There is no absolute in human affairs."

  "Alright."

  The man waved his hand somewhat impatiently and said, "Greedy Wolf, you and I have been comrades-in-arms for a long time. I'm just executing orders and have no personal grudge against you. The leader has said that if you really haven't died, as long as you return with me and hand over the item, you can still be one of the Fourteen War Generals, Greedy Wolf."

  "Oh?" Qin Yan sneered.

  "You also know that the leader has always been very protective of you, making all the other brothers jealous. If anyone else were to betray the organization, there would be only one outcome: death!"

  The leader attaches great importance to Greedy Wolf, which is true. Speaking of the 14th Great War, their strength was equivalent, but their ages were vastly different.

  Taking the Tianfu, one of the fourteen warlords in front of us, his strength is not weaker than that of Tanlang in his prime, but he is already in his thirties. With similar strength, one is in his thirties and the other is in his early twenties, it's obvious who will achieve more in the future.

  It is said that fists fear youth, a warrior's combat power comes not only from internal energy but also from physical strength and agility.

  A martial artist can truly exert their full strength corresponding to their realm, generally under the age of 45. Once over 45 years old, as the body's basic functions decline with age, it is fundamentally impossible to defeat young people in their twenties and thirties at the same level, so a martial artist's golden age only lasts for thirty years.

  Qin Yan was only 23 years old and had already reached the middle stage of Wudao's eighth heaven, his future achievements were boundless, and it was inevitable that the leader would favor him even more.

  But!

  Qin Yan would never be foolish enough to think that just because of this, the leader would not pursue his betrayal of the organization. On the contrary, the more potential he had, the more ruthless the leader would be in killing him off.

  A person with a history of betrayal, a person with unlimited potential, is likely to become the biggest hidden danger!

  "My name is Greedy Wolf." Qin Yan said with a cold smile.

  "Hehe... exactly, a treacherous and cunning person."

  The seemingly ordinary but actually extremely powerful Tianfu war general sneered and laughed: "These small tricks, indeed can't enter the greedy wolf's eyes, I'm afraid there are only a few people in the world who can deceive you. Since that's the case, then there's only one way to solve it directly, I'll break your four limbs and take you to see the leader, what do you think?"

  "Are you here?"

  "If you don't mind."

  "I mind."

  Qin Yan didn't want to make a move in the open, so he pointed to a dense thicket of small trees not far from the side of the road: "The environment is pretty good there."

  Tianfu General nodded and walked towards the small forest, Qin Yan smiled and followed up.

  "Aren't you leaving yet?!" Qin Yan suddenly turned around and glared at Su Hao who had followed him down the car.

  "Brother Yan, we're sworn brothers who have gone through thick and thin together. At a time like this, I absolutely cannot abandon you. Otherwise, how can Young Master Ben survive in the future?"

  "This is none of your business, go back!"

  "I know, it's that 'fate' that makes people turn pale at the mere mention of it!"

  Just now when Qin Yan and the Tianfu general were talking, Su Hao on the carriage was about four meters away from them. The two men's voices were not loud, and an ordinary person would not be able to hear clearly.

  But Su Hao was no ordinary person. As a martial artist, his hearing was much more acute than that of an average person, and he had heard the entire conversation without missing a single word.

  Greedy wolf!

  Greedy wolf!

  In this world, there is only one person known as Greedy Wolf, and that is the unparalleled master, Greedy Wolf General, one of the 14 Great War Generals of the "Mandate of Heaven" organization!

  Ordinary people do not know what 'Mandate of Heaven' is, nor have they heard of the name Greedy Wolf. However, as a member of the Lingnan Su family, one of the four great families of Yan and Huang, Su Hao has known about the existence of various dark forces since childhood.

  Mandate of Heaven

  Led by a self-proclaimed leader, the massive force gathered under his command includes fourteen great generals, thirty-six heavenly fiends, seventy-two earthly fiends, and numerous warriors of various ranks. The weakest members of the entire "Mandate of Heaven" organization are at least at the sixth level of martial arts, meaning that to become a member, one must possess internal energy as a prerequisite.

  This is an organization far more powerful than the Su family, a hidden force that can already be compared to several superpowers in terms of level, such as the 'Shadow' organization of Yanhuang.

  The key is that "Tianming" does not belong to any country, the leader's actions are mysterious, and until now no one knows the true identity and name of the leader.

  This organization rarely clashes with other national organizations or local forces, they just take people's money and help them get things done.

  Of course, they were not killers.

  Because the tasks accepted by 'Tianming' are not directly killing people, but some special commissions. However, it is likely to conflict with other forces and kill people during the execution of the task.

  In short, it was an incredibly powerful organization, and Su Hao never thought that his cheap brother would actually be the 'Chosen One'.

  And he is Greed Wolf, one of the fourteen great war generals, second only to the leader and military strategist!

  Fourteen great generals of Tianming, all are high-ranking masters of Wudao's Eight Heavenly Layers!

  Heavens!

  It's just...

  Su Hao just heard that Tianfu War General said, Qin Yan's dantian was pierced, as a martial artist he naturally knew what it meant for the dantian to be pierced.

  That is to say, the current Qin Yan only has the strength of the early six heavens, and it is certain that he will die in battle against the Tianfu generals!

  "You will die." Qin Yan's voice was cold and low.

  "Do you think that since he has heard it, I will let you leave?" The Tianfu war general walking in front turned his head and revealed a strange smile.

  "We are brothers, sworn brothers, could it be that we swore falsely?"

  Su Hao looked at Qin Yan firmly, then shifted his gaze to the Tianfu warlord and chuckled: "I'm from the Su family, the Su family of Lingnan. I can tell you with certainty that if I die, it'll be hard for you to leave Lingnan alive. The Su family may not have the power to defy 'Tianming', but we're more than enough to deal with just one person like you."

  "Is this a threat?" Tianfu warlord was taken aback upon hearing that he came from Lingnan Su family.

  "Yes."

  "So, you can only kill yourself as soon as possible and leave, without giving the Su family a chance to react."

  "Never mind."

  Qin Yan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This kind of threat may be useful for others, but it's meaningless to those with 'Tianming'. I'm definitely going to die today, as for you... it's too late to leave now. Is this worth it? You should know that I never considered you a brother."

  "I know, but I regard you as a brother." Su Hao shrugged his shoulders.

  "It seems I was right, you're a stupid B."

  "Thank you for the compliment."

  Su Hao smiled and patted Qin Yan's shoulder, saying: "Alright, now I'm willing to die with you together. You should consider me as a brother if you have any conscience at all."

  He looked at him deeply and nodded, stretching out his hand. The two hands were tightly clasped together.

  Greedy wolf, treacherous and cunning villain.

  There were few people he trusted in his dictionary, and the two words "brother" were too heavy. Before this, there was only one person in the world who was considered a brother by him.

  Today, there is one more person.

  The Heavenly Master General walked in front, and the two brothers followed behind. Before long, they arrived at that small grove of trees.

  Three people stood facing each other three meters apart, Tianfu War General Chao Qin Yan hooked his finger.

  Up!

  Su Hao's eyes flashed with a fierce killing intent, but before he could take a step forward, Qin Yan grabbed his clothes from behind: "Anyway, you're going to die, what's the hurry? I'll go first."

  He paused for a moment, and Su Hao didn't rush to die with him. He was very clear that with his current strength, facing the Tianfu War General of the 8th Heaven would be hopeless. As Qin Yan said, it's all the same whether he dies early or late. If Qin Yan could hold on for a bit longer, he might have been able to take advantage of the opportunity to call home and tell Grandpa to avenge him, letting the Tianfu War General bury his bones in the land of Huaxia.

  "Haha......" Qin Yan looked at Tianfu War General and burst out laughing.

  "Wait a minute, I'll break your arms and legs, you can laugh again later." Tianfu War General's face turned cold.

  "You're wrong, I just think you're ridiculous."

  "Fart!"

  "Isn't it?"

  Qin Yan looked at him with disdain, his face full of mockery: "The majestic Eighth Heaven's mid-term Tianfu, facing only a Sixth Heaven's early-stage cultivator like me, plus a little guy who hasn't even cultivated his inner energy, and yet you're so solemn. Should I laugh at your cowardice or praise your caution?"

  These words were heard by the Tianfu war general, and suddenly a wave of anger surged to the sky. However, he had no words to refute: Yes, now Greedy Wolf is not the same as before, only with the initial strength of the six heavens, making himself look like an arch-nemesis, how can he not be underestimated by the other party?

  "To deal with you, I don't even need a single soldier!" The Tianfu war general shouted in a harsh tone.

  "What's there to be afraid of?"

  "Shut up!"

  The Heavenly Master was about to go crazy, pointing at Qin Yan and shouting: "Come on! I'll only use one-tenth of my strength, if you can still stand up after three moves, I'll call you grandpa!"
